Arctic Triad: A New Denmark-Greenland-US Accord
A Foreign Affairs analysis argues that President Trump’s Greenland rhetoric should be redirected into a durable trilateral deal among the United States, Denmark, and Greenland that expands U.S. basing and missile-defense capabilities, upgrades the defense framework, and strengthens the GIUK Gap while boosting Arctic mineral development and infrastructure. The plan envisions closer NORAD coordination, a formal negotiation channel, a 30-year Arctic development fund, targeted private investment, and trade carve-outs, all conducted within NATO and with respect for Greenland’s sovereignty—turning a potential crisis into a strategic long-term win for all parties.
