NATO Chief Backs U.S.-Denmark-Greenland Defense Pact Granting U.S. Permanent Control

The U.S. has been granted permanent control over security and defense operations in Greenland, a move praised by NATO's military chief. This formalizes and extends U.S. military access in the Arctic, a region of growing strategic competition with Russia and China. The agreement's terms and duration remain unclear, but it signals a significant shift in Arctic defense posture.
