Frederiksen says Denmark-Greenland-US agreement is good for all sides

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is pleased with the agreement Denmark and Greenland have reached with the US. "It is a good agreement from a Greenlandic point of view, from an American point of view, and from a Danish point of view," she tells DR.

She does not want to reveal the exact details until everything is signed and ready, but she tells the media company that the agreement is also good for NATO and Europe.

Donald Trump has stated that the agreement gives the US "permanent control over security" on the island, but Frederiksen emphasizes that it is about defence and security policy, and that Greenland is not abandoning its sovereignty.

On Tuesday, she and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen will meet with Trump to sign the agreement. And she says she is confident that it will become a reality.

Yes, I think there will be three signatures on the document tomorrow.
