US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Denmark over Greenland, claiming it grants the United States 'permanent control over security, and all other needs' on the Arctic territory. The announcement follows months of Trump threatening to annex Greenland, and Danish officials have not yet confirmed the specifics of the arrangement. Denmark and Greenland are reportedly planning to sign a US defence pact next week, pending approval from both parliaments. The development marks a significant shift in the long-running dispute over Greenland's status and US ambitions in the Arctic.
