US and Denmark reach Arctic security deal granting US control over Greenland defense

The United States and Denmark have reached an agreement to strengthen security in the Arctic, ending a months-long feud over Greenland. The deal, announced by US President Donald Trump, grants the US permanent control over security in the semi-autonomous Danish territory. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham praised the agreement, while critics, including Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey, called it a pretend victory, noting it closely resembles an existing 1951 treaty. The agreement preserves Greenland's sovereignty and is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly next week.
