The USA and Denmark end a fight. It is about the island Greenland. Greenland belongs to the country Denmark. But the island rules itself. Donald Trump wants to buy the island. Denmark says no to this.
Now there is a new deal. Both countries sign the deal next week. This happens at a meeting of the United Nations. The deal makes the safety in the Arctic better. This helps the NATO and Europe. Greenland stays a part of Denmark.
The USA get important rights from the deal. They use air fields on the island. Other countries build no military base there. This is true for countries outside the NATO. Donald Trump wants more soldiers in Greenland. He wants to protect the island from Russia and China.
Many details of the deal stay secret. The leaders in Denmark and Greenland must say yes. Only then the deal works. Mette Frederiksen is the head of the Danish government. She likes the deal. Jens-Frederik Nielsen from Greenland likes the deal too.
