ما تفاصيل الاتفاق الثلاثي حول غرينلاند؟
(opens the publisher’s site)Trump, Frederiksen, and Nielsen signed a trilateral treaty in New York allowing expanded US forces in Greenland and ending months of diplomatic tension.
- The treaty, amending the 1951 defense pact, permits two new US bases, expansion of the Pituffik space base, and unrestricted flight and navigation rights.
- Trump said the agreement grants the US control over security in the region and bars adversaries from establishing a military presence there.
- The accord prohibits non-NATO states from building bases or making sensitive investments, including in mineral extraction.
- Denmark stated the treaty recognizes Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' right to self-determination.
- Greenlandic officials and residents expressed cautious relief over the treaty, though some feared expanded military activity could disrupt fishing grounds.
