BRUSSELS: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Thursday that NATO states backed having a “permanent presence” in the Arctic, including around Greenland, after US President Donald Trump claimed a framework deal was struck to satisfy his demands. “We have asked NATO to be more present in the Arctic region,” Frederiksen said at the start of a European Union summit in Brussels.

President Donald Trump said he reached a framework for a deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Greenland.
