Greenland to set terms of defence and mining ties with US, says PM

Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute B. Egede, has announced that Greenland will establish its own terms for defense and mining cooperation with the United States, emphasizing the need for Greenland to have a say in its own affairs. This statement comes in the context of Greenland's strategic importance due to its location and resources, particularly rare earth minerals crucial for technology and defense industries. Egede highlighted the importance of Greenland's self-determination, especially in light of discussions about U.S. military presence and mining operations on the island. He stressed that while Greenland values its relationship with the U.S., any agreements must respect Greenlandic interests and involve local decision-making processes. This move reflects Greenland's ongoing efforts to assert greater autonomy from Denmark, its former colonial power, and to navigate its geopolitical significance amidst global power dynamics.
