00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says he has secured total and permanent U.S. access to Greenland in
00:06a deal with NATO. News of the deal came as Trump backed off tariff threats against European allies
00:11and ruled out taking Greenland by force. But details of any agreement were unclear and Denmark
00:16insisted its sovereignty over the island was not up for discussion. Greenland's Prime Minister
00:21Jens Friedrich Nielsen welcomes Trump's comments but says he was still in the dark on many aspects.
00:26He adds Greenland is willing to discuss and negotiate with the U.S. but sovereignty is
00:30a red line it is not willing to cross. A source familiar with the matter says Trump and NATO have
00:36agreed to update a 1951 agreement that governs U.S. military access to the island. The source adds
00:41the framework they discussed also calls for prohibiting Chinese and Russian investments in Greenland.
