Denmark and Greenland said on Saturday that a US deal expanding Washington's military role on Greenland would not compromise the island's sovereignty. Their assurances followed President Donald Trump's claim that the agreement would give the United States 'permanent control' over security and other needs in the self-governing Danish territory.
For context, the United States, Denmark and Greenland said late on Friday that they had entered into an agreement allowing a significant US military presence on Greenland. The arrangement would also prohibit American adversaries from building bases on the Arctic island.
