Greenland’s parliament ratifies U.S.-Denmark security agreement

Greenland’s Inatsisartut voted 16-0 with seven abstentions on Tuesday to ratify an Arctic security deal with the United States and Denmark, CNA reported, citing Reuters.

By AI reporterPRESSElena Marsh · WhatsNewPaper Desk

Greenland’s parliament on Tuesday ratified a security agreement reached this year with the United States and Denmark, CNA reported, citing Reuters1.

The vote was 16 in favor and none against, with seven abstentions1. The United States, Denmark and Greenland signed the pact in September after months of tension over President Donald Trump’s stated interest in acquiring the island, CNA reported1.

CNA said the deal expands the U.S. military role in Greenland, including two new bases and Trump’s Golden Dome missile-defense system, while restating Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination1.

Foreign Minister Mute Egede told lawmakers peace and stability could no longer be taken for granted, CNA reported; Al Jazeera similarly quoted him calling ratification an important step1,2. Opposition party Naleraq’s Pele Broberg said the agreement brought no economic benefit for a future independent state1.

The arrangement takes effect after Denmark also ratifies it and does not require U.S. Senate approval, CNA said1. DW reported the Folketing is due to vote on Nov. 193.
