The United States, Denmark and Greenland have signed a new defense agreement aimed at strengthening security in the Arctic and reinforcing NATO cooperation.
The deal will expand the US military presence on Greenland, a strategically important territory between North America and Europe.
The agreement marks a shift from President Donald Trump‘s past suggestions that the US should acquire Greenland.
Instead, Washington is now emphasizing partnership and joint security efforts with Greenland and Denmark.
Who benefits from the deal, and what persuaded Trump to settle for this agreement?
DW put these and other questions to Arctic expert Marisol Maddox from Dartmouth College in the US.
