The agreement negotiated with NATO chief Mark Rutte will reportedly authorize sovereign base areas on the island
The US will control parts of Greenland by designating them as sovereign military base areas, The Telegraph reported on Wednesday evening, citing a draft agreement between President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
The deal, reached on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is seen by European officials as a way to circumvent Trump's threats to annex the entire Arctic island from Denmark. Both Trump and Rutte said the details have yet to be finalized.
The draft framework would allow Washington to build bases on Greenland that would be considered US territory in the Arctic region, The Telegraph said. The arrangement would reportedly be similar to the treaty that authorizes Britain to maintain two "sovereign base areas" in Cyprus. The US currently operates an airbase on Greenland's northwestern coast under a 1951 agreement.
