US-Denmark-Greenland Security Agreement: US Military Presence & Arctic Control
The US, Denmark, and Greenland have reached an agreement to expand US military presence and grant the US 'permanent security control' over Greenland, formalizing strategic Arctic basing.

The agreement is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly.
