Greenland to strengthen defense and mining ties with U.S.

Moving over to Greenland, the country's Prime Minister, Mute Egede , announced on Monday, the nation's intent to strengthen defense and mining collaborations with the United States, emphasizing that any agreements will be established on Greenland's terms.

This follows President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring the mineral-rich Arctic island in recent weeks, highlighting the region's strategic significance.

Also on Monday, Denmark, which currently manages Greenland's foreign affairs and defense, expressed a willingness to discuss the increased U.S. military presence on the island.

The dialogue aims to address security concerns and ensure Greenland's safety while avoiding any scenario of American annexation.
