The White House released the U.S. President's remarks on Leif Erikson Day, which mentioned a historic agreement reached last month with Denmark and Greenland. This agreement grants the U.S. permanent control over Greenland's security to ensure the safety of the U.S. and its allies. The President stated that this move, unprecedented by any president in the past 100 years, permanently recognizes Greenland as a vital national security partner and makes the Arctic a pillar of American strength once again.
