Newsmax: The United States plans to reopen a former Cold War-era military base in southern Greenland and set up a military presence at an east coast base now used by the Danish dog sled patrol.

Terms for the moves are outlined under an agreement to be signed by the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland on Tuesday, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Those sites are Narsarsuaq, whose population has dwindled ​to a few dozen people since the U.S. closed its Bluie West One military base in the 1950s, and Mestersvig, a military ⁠outpost currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, a Danish special forces unit, ​said two of the people.

The three are expected ⁠to sign the new agreement at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City at 10:30 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.

The text of the agreement has not been made public. The three people familiar with the deal, speaking on condition of anonymity, said ​its details are ‌not finalized until it is signed.

The governments of Denmark and Greenland did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ‌The White House also did not immediately respond.

Denmark says the agreement puts Arctic security under the watch of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the military defense alliance, ⁠rather than leaving it solely ‌to the U.S. and Denmark.

The deal ⁠follows months of pressure from President Donald Trump, who has long said he wants the ⁠U.S. to ⁠control Greenland and had at times refused to rule out military or economic force to acquire the semiautonomous Danish ‌territory.

Trump’s threats, which peaked in January, triggered a diplomatic crisis within NATO and pushed Denmark and Greenland into negotiations with Washington aimed at defusing the pressure.

During the Cold War, the ‌U.S. maintained ​17 military installations and more ‌than 10,000 personnel in Greenland. Today, only Pituffik Space Base remains, with some 150 U.S. military personnel.
