Trump Claims Full Access to Greenland in New NATO Deal

Donald Trump stated that the US has secured full and permanent access to Greenland through an agreement with NATO, averting the imposition of new tariffs on Europe. The deal, details of which remain unclear, includes a ban on Chinese and Russian investments in Greenland and a modification of a 1951 agreement regarding the US military presence on the island. Denmark insists that its sovereignty over Greenland is not in question, while Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated he is ready for negotiations, but territorial integrity and sovereignty are non-negotiable. This agreement aims to bolster Arctic security against threats from Russia and China.
