    Submission statement: this is relevant to international relations, and the deal doesn’t seem to mention sovereignty.

    I don’t have full access, and archive seems not full, so I got this summary from Bloomberg journo’s tweet: https://xcancel.com/i/status/2014341555914412353

    “Exclusive on Bloomberg: The Greenland ‘deal’

    — changes to the 1951 Treaty to guarantee US military base requirements

    — strengthened NATO role on Arctic / High North security. Will include a multinational NATO command in Greenland under US command

    — an economic component to be negotiated, including mining rights

    — measures to stop Russian and Chinese economic and military presence on Greenland

    — the US stops threatening tariffs on Europe”

    If anybody can archive it properly please add link here.

    EDIT: a tweet from the same Bloomberg journo, relevant to NYT discussions:

    “One thing it’s important to clarify: the framework under discussion does not include any suggestion that Denmark would cede sovereignty of parts of Greenlandic territory to house US military bases, contrary to some reports”

    Be careful with this. One of the worst parts of CUMSA was this poison pill that allowed the US to veto any free trade deal signed by Mexico or Canada. By far the worst fuck up by the Trudeau government
