The outline of the Greenland "framework" brought forward by President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has left the question of Greenland's sovereignty open, not closed.

The Greenland standoff is poised to continue after leaked outlines of the proposed arrangement suggested the U.S. is seeking sovereign control over the land footprint of future American military installations — rather than over all of Greenland, according to Eurointelligence.
