Having read the agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland I must say, I welcome it heartily. Sovereignty is respected, security is strengthened, and NATO's role is reinforced. I consider it a victory for the transatlantic alliance. In principle, all the parties emerge stronger. But the real work only starts now. To make the agreement a success and realize its full potential, the parties need to take the necessary steps and invest in both NATO’s security in the Arctic and the economic growth in Greenland. The photo is from a previous visit I had to Per, Mads and twelve dogs from The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol that help enforce the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark over North and North-East Greenland. Even though we can also use drones, satellites and many other capabilities to secure the area, we still need people patrolling the ice.
