Greenland has approved a trilateral deal involving Denmark and the United States, following a sustained campaign of pressure from President Donald Trump, according to PBS NewsHour.
Trump had repeatedly pushed to gain control over Greenland, a semiautonomous territory belonging to Denmark, a fellow NATO member, raising alarm among allies over the unusual demand to acquire foreign land.
The approval marks a resolution, at least for now, to a diplomatic standoff that strained relations between Washington and Copenhagen while putting Greenland's political status in the international spotlight.
