Talks over Greenland’s future are moving forward, but the three-way negotiations involving Denmark, Greenland and the United States have not yet produced a final agreement, Greenland’s prime minister said. The mineral-rich Arctic territory has drawn intense interest from US President Donald Trump, who is reportedly seeking to establish three military bases in southern Greenland in addition to the existing US Pituffik base in the north. "We are negotiating but we don't have an agreement," Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen…

Denmark’s defense minister said Greenland does not need outside medical assistance, pushing back against a claim by U.S. President Donald Trump that a hospital ship is headed to the autonomous Danish territory. “The Greenlandic population receives the healthcare it needs. They receive it either in Greenland, or, if they require specialised treatment, they receive it in Denmark. So it’s not as if there’s a need for a special healthcare initiative in Greenland,” Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen told Danish broadcaster DR.…

Greenland’s prime minister warned that the United States still seeks control over the Arctic island despite former U.S. President Donald Trump’s pledge to forgo the use of force, sharpening tensions that have pulled in Denmark, NATO allies and Greenland’s Indigenous communities. Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the U.S. continues to pursue “paths to ownership and control over Greenland,” even as Trump has backed away from threats of military action. Trump intensified calls for U.S. control at the start of the year, citing national…

BRUSSELS — Denmark’s foreign minister said Tuesday he is “more optimistic” after technical talks with the United States on Greenland began in Washington, the first senior-level engagement since tensions flared over the Arctic territory. Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters on the sidelines of an EU meeting that Danish, Greenlandic and U.S. officials held “the very first meeting at senior official level in Washington yesterday regarding the Greenlandic issue.” “It went well in a very constructive atmosphere and tone, and new…

“Maybe climate change is not so bad in such a cold country as ours?” Vladimir Putin mused two decades ago, speculating that a few degrees of warming might cut fur-coat bills and boost harvests. The line, tossed off in 2003, reads today like an early draft of the world’s newest geopolitical script: As the Arctic thaws, the map of power is being redrawn — and it now runs straight through Greenland. That is the backdrop to a rupture between the United States and parts of NATO and the European Union that Canadian Prime Minister…

In less than a fortnight, President Donald Trump’s push to annex Greenland has done what Moscow long struggled to achieve: drive a wedge between the United States and its European allies in NATO. As Europe recoiled, Russia watched—and encouraged—the rift, framing the controversy as proof that the post–Cold War transatlantic order is fracturing under its own contradictions. Moscow’s messaging has been blunt and opportunistic. Russian state media has amplified the notion that the alliance is wobbling, while Foreign Minister…

Trump claims ‘total’ U.S. access to Greenland under NATO framework; Denmark insists sovereignty not up for discussion U.S. President Donald Trump said he has secured “total and permanent” American access to Greenland under a framework discussed with NATO, even as Denmark and Greenland stressed that sovereignty over the Arctic island is not on the table and European leaders vowed to step up regional security. News of the nascent deal emerged as Trump backed off tariff threats against Europe and ruled out taking Greenland by…

DAVOS, Switzerland — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday backed away from threats to slap tariffs on European allies over Greenland, ruled out the use of force and said a framework was emerging for a long-term Arctic security and minerals deal that could defuse one of the sharpest transatlantic disputes in years. Trump said the United States and NATO partners had “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” and, based on that understanding, he would not impose…

The United States and Denmark plan to renegotiate the 1951 defense agreement that underpins the U.S. military presence in Greenland, according to a person familiar with the matter, a move that reflects shifting security realities in the Arctic and Greenland’s expanded autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark. The discussions are expected to focus on updating the legal framework governing operations at Pituffik Space Base — the longtime U.S. facility formerly known as Thule Air Base — and clarifying the role of Greenland’s…

The United States and Denmark plan to renegotiate the 1951 defense agreement governing the U.S. military presence in Greenland, according to a source familiar with the matter. The move would update a foundational pact that has underpinned North Atlantic security for more than seven decades and comes as the Arctic’s strategic importance accelerates. The 1951 Agreement Relating to the Defense of Greenland, struck under the NATO framework, allows the United States to operate defense installations on the island, most notably…
