US-NATO GREENLAND DEAL SIGNALS MISSILES AND MINES A new framework deal between the US and NATO would expand military and strategic activity in Greenland, including US missile deployments, mining rights, and a stronger alliance presence to counter Russia and China. The agreement helped defuse a diplomatic standoff after President Trump pledged not to impose tariffs on Europe. While sovereignty is off the table, the deal would update a 1951 accord giving the US broad defense access to the territory. Talks remain preliminary, and Denmark has stressed that Greenland will not be ceded, though it is open to expanded US and NATO security cooperation(*Walter Bloomberg)
