Denmark says US military deal won't compromise Greenland sovereignty

Copenhagen: Denmark said on Saturday its sovereignty over Greenland would not be compromised by a deal taking shape with the Trump administration that would allow a significant expansion of the US military presence on the Arctic island.

The US, Denmark and Greenland said on Friday they had reached an agreement to expand the US military footprint in the self-governing Danish territory while preventing US adversaries from establishing bases there.

Key details, including the scale of the planned buildup and whether Washington would gain any formal authority over foreign policy or natural resources, have not been made public.
