NATO has backed the agreement announced on the previous day by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, regarding the security of Greenland, agreed with the authorities of Denmark and with the Government of this autonomous territory.
The chairman of the Military Committee of the Atlantic Alliance, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, has indicated that "from NATO's point of view, this is an agreement, so it is very welcome" at a press conference after meeting in Copenhagen with the defense chiefs of the allied countries.
The admiral has also emphasized that "from a military point of view, there are many activities underway there," including the operation "Artic Sentry," "which represents a huge commitment for NATO."
In addition, a spokesperson for the Atlantic Alliance has positively assessed the pact, which "will help to promote security, stability, and cooperation in this vital region," according to statements released by the British network Sky News.
In parallel, the Joint Force Command (JFC) of Norfolk has communicated on its social networks that "Danish F35s have landed for the first time in Greenland, training alongside U.S. F16s and Canadian F18s in the High North."
"Supported by French air-to-air refueling and the Early Warning Force, the allied aircraft trained to integrate over vast distances and demanding Arctic conditions," added the JFC. "Multiple Allies. Integrated capability. Arctic ready," it concluded.
Trump has detailed an agreement by which the United States will obtain "permanent control" of the island's security and will have the possibility of deploying troops in the area, specifying that the pact has an "indefinite duration" and will not involve "any cost" for his administration.
The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has ratified the understanding, although she has emphasized that it is a "shared security" and has focused on the fact that the document "recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Denmark, as well as "the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination."
