European leaders are preparing a four-point agreement on cooperation with the United States regarding Greenland in an informal meeting, Politico reported on Thursday, citing sources from several European officials.
According to Politico, the first point concerns the revision of the 1951 defense agreement between the United States and Denmark, including its adaptation to the Golden Dome missile defense system proposed by US President Donald Trump.
On the second point, it was mentioned that the European government would increase their contribution to regional security, including the potential of a NATO mission.
However, different sources disagree on the two remaining points. One source said the points involved an agreement to cancel each other's tariffs and form a supervisory body to monitor exploration rights.
Another source noted these points largely reflect unrealistic expectations from some EU countries.
Trump has repeatedly said the US should take control of Greenland, which is an autonomous part of Denmark, citing the importance of the islands' strategic position for national security. Danish and Greenlandic authorities have warned Washington against seizing the island, stressing that they expect their territorial integrity to be respected.
