Burnham hails Greenland deal ahead of expected first Trump meeting
The agreement is expected to reinforce Arctic security and ease a months-long dispute over Greenland, while critics call it little changed from past policy.
- Denmark and the United States resolved a months-long feud over Greenland, striking a deal to "strengthen security in the Arctic." Burnham welcomed the agreement, which aims to stabilize the region.
- Months of threats from President Trump to "take" Greenland preceded the deal, citing national security concerns. He had previously proposed purchasing or annexing the semi-autonomous territory, arguing it was vulnerable to adversaries including Russia and China.
- Trump claimed on Truth Social the deal comes at "no cost to the United States" and prohibits adversaries from maintaining military presences or making "sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval." No agreement text has been released.
- Liberal Democrat leader Davey dismissed the agreement as a "pretend" victory, calling it a "near carbon copy" of existing arrangements. Prime Minister Frederiksen said she was "pleased that there is a prospect of a good agreement."
- Scheduled for signing at the UNGA next week, the pact requires parliamentary approval to enter into force. Burnham intends to use the summit to "drive forward work on issues that matter to people at home" alongside meeting Trump.
