Greenland’s parliament on Tuesday approved a security agreement with the United States and Denmark, Al Jazeera, Reuters and The Washington Times report. The deal was signed in September by Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and aims to strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Al Jazeera reports the vote was 16-0, with seven lawmakers abstaining. Reuters reports that the deal expands the U.S. military’s role, with two new bases and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system, and that some opposition members questioned its economic value. It follows months of Trump’s repeated threats to take control of the island.
