Denmark gives up its defense authority over Greenland, leaving only diplomatic authority.

Denmark was unable to withstand the pressure from the United States and first handed over the defense rights of Greenland, leaving only the right of foreign affairs to be exercised.

According to a report by The New York Times on July 13, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen proposed to relinquish the defense rights of Greenland to the United States, citing the prevention of Russian attacks as the reason. The proposal was smoothly passed in the parliament with 94 votes in favor and 11 against. Now Denmark only retains the right of foreign affairs for the island. When this right is also transferred to the United States, Denmark will have no security threats at all.
