The Greenland Parliament approved an agreement with the USA on Arctic security
The Greenland parliament approved an agreement with the U.S. with unanimous support from 16 deputies, while seven from the opposition party Naleraq abstained. A dispute arose between Naleraq leader Pele Broberg and Foreign Minister Mute B. Egede over alleged leaks of confidential information regarding the agreement. The deal, signed on September 22, expands U.S. military presence in Greenland, including new bases and missile defense systems, while affirming Denmark's sovereignty and Greenlanders' right to self-determination. It also blocks non-NATO investments in strategic sectors. The agreement awaits approval from the Danish parliament and U.S. lawmakers.
