🔮 Greenland lawmakers set to ratify Trump security deal COPENHAGEN, Nov 3 - Greenland's parliament is set to ratify on Tuesday the Arctic island's security agreement struck with US President Donald Trump, after a majority of lawmakers signalled support for the deal in a first debate last month. The United States, Denmark and Greenland in September signed the agreement, aimed at ending tensions after Trump's repeated threats to take control of the strategically located and mineral-rich island, a self-governing Danish territory. The deal expands the US military's role in Greenland, paving the way for two new military bases and Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defence system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' right to self-determination.
