After months of tensions over the future of Greenland, the United States, Denmark and the Greenlandic Government have signed a trilateral defence agreement that expands the US military presence in the Arctic, but maintains Danish sovereignty and recognizes Greenland's right of self-determination.

Donald Trump announced an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that gives the United States "permanent control" over the security of the Arctic island, in a movement that strengthens the US military presence in the Arctic, after months ago the president held that control of the territory is necessary for "national security reasons."
The Danish sovereignty of Greenland and the self-determination of the Arctic island will remain unchanged despite the agreement reached with the Donald Trump government to increase the military deployment of the United States in that territory and to veto the presence of China and Russia, according to the Copenhagen and Nuuk authorities. The pact will be signed during the UN General Assembly next week and will require parliamentary ratification.
