POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — President Donald Trump has signed a landmark security agreement with Denmark and Greenland aimed at enhancing U.S. military presence in the Arctic while preserving Greenland’s sovereignty under Danish control.

The pact was announced on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, following months of behind-the-scenes negotiations between officials from the three nations. The deal addresses longstanding tensions over Trump’s repeated calls for Greenland to become part of the United States, which had strained NATO relations and raised concerns among European allies.
