Greenland approved a trilateral security agreement involving Denmark and the United States to strengthen defence cooperation in the Arctic and North Atlantic. The agreement aims to expand US military access, increase defence collaboration and enhance regional security. It allows the United States to increase its activities at the existing Pituffik Space Base and proposes two additional defence areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig under mutually agreed conditions. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and retains significant internal self-government. The agreement also recognises Greenland's right to self-determination and does not transfer sovereignty over the territory to the United States.
