Denmark and Greenland are set to sign an agreement with the United States aimed at enhancing security in the autonomous Danish territory. This development was announced by Denmark’s Prime Minister on Friday, who stated that the agreement is beneficial for both NATO and Europe.
Mette Frederiksen said the deal “strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area,” adding that it was expected to be signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly next week.
Once signed, the agreement will have to go through the necessary parliamentary procedures to enter into force, according to a statement from Frederiksen’s office.
