The law is yet to be signed by King Frederik X.
Greenland’s head of government Jens-Frederik Nielsen has previously called the US statements about the island disrespectful and that it “will never ever become a property that can be bought by anyone”.
Corrected: In a previous version of the text, there was an incorrect formulation about the geographical location of the military bases.
