“The negotiations over Greenland’s future center around building up a larger NATO presence, thwarting adversaries and giving the United States sovereign claim to bits of the island — a deal remarkably similar to an agreement that already exists,” Politico reports.
“The U.S. and Denmark already have a framework for Greenland: a 1951 treaty that permits some of what the new deal would likely include. That defense agreement allows the Pentagon to establish bases and send as many troops as it needs to the island after Copenhagen approves — which it has almost always done.”
Bloomberg: Trump’s NATO deal would mean U.S. mining and missiles in Greenland.
