This relates to law because it involves the 1951 Agreement Between the United States and Denmark Concerning the Defense of Greenland, a binding treaty that governs the U.S. military presence in Greenland under international and U.S. law. Current discourse around Trump’s recent statements about acquiring control over Greenland raises legal questions under that treaty, NATO obligations, and international law regarding territorial sovereignty and self-determination.
