Trump undertecknar nytt försvarsavtal om Grönland (2026-09-18)

Efter det fick världen upp ögonen för denna avlägsna ö och region, och det märks väldigt konkret. När EU-kommissionens ordförande Ursula von der Leyen besökte Grönland förra veckan var det med en påse pengar – ett partnerskapspaket värt 2,2 miljarder svenska kronor. Pengarna är välkomna för Grönland som gärna vill ha in utländsk kapital.

An important and positive news for Greenland, Denmark and our common security

Greenland, Denmark and the USA are on the way to an agreement that will strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.

For me, it is absolutely crucial that the agreement recognizes the Kingdom's sovereignty and the Greenlanders' right to decide their own future. These are fundamental principles that we must stand firm on.

We need close cooperation with the USA on our security. Therefore, it is positive that we now seem to be able to move forward on that path. It benefits both Greenland, Denmark and our allies in NATO.

It has been a difficult and uncertain time for many in Greenland. I hope that the agreement can help create more calm and security.

I would like to thank our Greenlandic colleagues for the cooperation in a difficult time. The trust between us is crucial, and we must build further on it in the Kingdom community.
