Denmark Bristles at Idea of Giving Up Any Sovereignty in Greenland
Greenland hit by power outage, strong winds in wake of US tensions easing
AI Summary
Reports indicate that American and NATO officials have discussed the possibility of the United States gaining sovereignty over its military bases in Greenland. Denmark, which has maintained sovereignty over Greenland for over 300 years, is strongly resisting any such agreement. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that decisions regarding Denmark and Greenland can only be made by Denmark and Greenland themselves. The Danish government's pushback comes amid uncertainty about a potential deal between NATO's secretary general and President Trump regarding Greenland's future. Officials in Greenland's semiautonomous government have also expressed concern about their lack of involvement in these discussions.
