Heres the text of the 2026 treaty on Greenland www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

Hard to see how it differs fundamentally from the 1951 agreement avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century...

The most one could say is that it's implementing and elaborating upon the previous agreement

Just had a quick read of the US-Greenland-Denmark agreement and it seems like a complete non-event. Trump threatened the territorial integrity of a NATO ally and got nothing.

I just read the Greenland deal. My take is that it appears to favor the U.S. most: expanded military infrastructure, freedom of operations on land, sea and air, and stronger leverage over foreign investment in Greenland.

This has nothing to do with the new U.S.-Denmark agreement the Trumpies are trying to over-sell. They could have done this under the previous arrangement. Sounds like appeasement of the orange toddler.

Trump declares victory in Greenland, but the deal exposes a deeper crisis of trust
When a loyal ally can be squeezed over land inside its own territory, collective defence starts to look like an open protection racket.

For the first time, Denmark will deploy conscripts to Latvia next year 🇩🇰🇱🇻

They will serve on NATO’s eastern flank as part of Multinational Division North.

Latvia has also asked Denmark to extend its military presence at Ādaži as a deterrent against Russia.
