U.S. and Denmark sign defence agreement allowing American military presence at Greenland outposts
A new U.S.-Denmark defence agreement permits Washington to establish bases at Mestersvig and Narsarsuaq in Greenland. The Mestersvig outpost currently hosts three Danish soldiers and sits near the GIUK gap, a strategic chokepoint for monitoring Russian naval movements. The U.S. has not publicly announced its plans for the bases.
