Greenland's parliament has approved an agreement with Denmark and the United States to strengthen security in the Arctic, the Associated Press writes. 16 deputies voted in favor of the agreement, no one spoke against it. Seven other MPs abstained. "The tripartite agreement paves the way for additional US military bases in Greenland and eases the tensions caused by Trump's repeated calls to make the huge island part of the US. The purpose of the agreement is to strengthen the US military presence in Greenland while maintaining control of the self-governing island behind Denmark. It will continue to apply if Greenland decides to become a dependency in the future.
