Greenland lawmakers have signaled support for a security agreement involving the United States, Denmark and Greenland, aimed at strengthening Arctic defense and screening foreign investment in sensitive sectors.
The pact, signed on September 22, authorizes two new U.S. military bases at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig. It also establishes a mechanism for the three parties to review and potentially block investments in strategic areas, including infrastructure and resource extraction.
Denmark, a NATO ally, has increased defense spending and plans further expansion to reinforce transatlantic security cooperation.
Meanwhile, a Chinese think tank, NISS, urged Beijing to avoid a confrontational response to the agreement. Its report argued that Washington was unlikely to turn the Arctic region into an exclusively U.S.-controlled strategic sphere.
