Reuters reported on September 21 that according to three people familiar with the matter, the US plans to re-open an old Cold War-era military base in southern Greenland and establish a military presence at a base currently used by Danish dog sledding patrols on the east coast of Greenland in accordance with an agreement to be signed by the US, Denmark, and Greenland on the 22nd. Two people familiar with the matter said that the two locations were Nassar Suwak and Mestersvig, respectively. Since the US closed the Bruisie 1 military base in the 1950s, the resident population of Nassarsuwak has dropped to a few dozen; Mästersvig is a military outpost currently used by the Danish special forces “Sirius Dog Sleigh Patrol.” According to reports, Denmark, Greenland, and the US are expected to sign this new agreement at 10:30 a.m. EST on the 22nd during the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
