Denmark and Greenland said on Saturday that any agreement reached with the US would not damage Greenland's sovereignty. Earlier, US President Donald Trump had claimed that the agreement would give Washington “permanent control” over security matters on this Arctic island, but did not specify the exact scope of the agreement. Denmark and Greenland said they hope the agreement, which is expected to be signed during the UN General Assembly next week, will put an end to months of uncertainty caused by Trump's threat to take over Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Luck Rasmussen said in a statement on social media on Saturday: “Next week will probably be a great week for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States.” “It is hoped that the uncertain period will give way to a binding agreement that will strengthen the security of the Arctic and North Atlantic regions — thereby strengthening our common security in NATO and Europe — while respecting the Danish Kingdom's 'red line',” he said. Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly insisted that Washington respect the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark and accept the fact that Greenland is not for sale.
