US and Denmark reach deal over Greenland after Trump annexation threats
Trump said the agreement will give the US "permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland", though specifics haven't been confirmed by Danish officials.
The US and Denmark have announced a deal on Greenland's security, resolving a diplomatic dispute sparked by President Donald Trump's threats to seize the territory by force.
Denmark's Prime Minister said the deal "strengthens security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area" but did not address specifics in the agreement that Trump mentioned in a social media post.
The deal comes after months of threats by Trump to "take" Greenland over national security concerns, citing its strategic location for defence purposes and its mineral wealth.
"The agreement recognises Greenland's interests and our place in international co-operation. It is for the benefit of us all," he said.
