Who knows, nobody knows whats in this «new agreement» but they already have free travel, multiple military bases as per « Defense of Greenland: Agreement Between the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark, April 27, 1951(1)« so its hard to tell.

    There is a reason Denmark is keeping this quiet until after the vote. They are trying to keep their citizens from stopping the deal. Wells a deal is a deal. USA finally gets reputations for all the world wars it win for Europe!
