YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The US wants to rewrite its defense agreement with Denmark to remove limits on its military presence in Greenland, according to people familiar with the matter.

The original agreement, signed in 1951 and amended in 2004, requires the US to "consult with and inform" Denmark and Greenland before making significant changes to US military operations or facilities in Greenland.

American negotiators want to rework the language to ensure the US faces no restrictions as it makes its plans, with President Trump saying the US will have "all military access that we want" and "total access" to Greenland.
