US and Denmark reach Greenland security deal

The United States and Denmark have announced a security agreement for Greenland, with signing slated for next week's UN General Assembly.

• Trump announced the agreement grants the US permanent control over security and all other needs in Greenland at no cost to Washington.
• Trump said the deal bars any US adversary from establishing a military presence or making sensitive investments in Greenland without US written approval.
• Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the deal strengthens Arctic and North Atlantic security while recognizing the Kingdom's sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination.
• Frederiksen confirmed the agreement will be signed at the UN General Assembly next week.
• The accord expands the US military presence on Greenland, granting Washington broader military access and overflight rights.
• The agreement, whose text has not been published, requires ratification by the Danish and Greenlandic parliaments before taking effect.
• Officials said the deal falls short of Trump's earlier call for US 'ownership' of the island and does not transfer sovereignty.
