Sweden’s foreign minister says Greenland tensions have damaged trust in NATO

Maps showing Greenland as American and weapons talk from Donald Trump. After countless statements from the American president, the Swedish government now welcomes the security agreement that has been reached regarding the island.

"I hope that we can now, as allies, put this behind us," Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) told Sveriges Radio Ekot.

On Tuesday evening, Swedish time, representatives of the United States, Greenland and Denmark signed an agreement that, among other things, includes two new American military bases on the island, which will continue to be self-governing.

Maria Malmer Stenergard sees previous American attempts to take over Greenland as something that may have led to increased suspicion.

"This has damaged trust within NATO in particular. This is not how you behave towards your allies," she told Ekot.
