The truth is, Europe, Nato, countries like Canada stood up to him and won.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Trump had tried for months to purchase or annex the semi-autonomous territory, arguing that it was vulnerable to adversaries, including Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the wake of the deal, Frederiksen said she was &#8220;pleased that there is a prospect of a good agreement&#8221; for all three parties, which was expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The deal &#8220;strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area&#8221; while also recognising &#8220;the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination&#8221;, she said in a joint statement with Greenland&#8217;s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The agreement would still need to go through &#8220;the necessary parliamentary procedures to enter into force&#8221; once signed, the statement noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Burnham has spoken with Trump at least twice since entering Downing Street and No 10 said he intends to use the UNGA to &#8220;drive forward work on issues that matter to people at home&#8221; including the cost of living and the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Donald Trump is trying to claim he&#8217;s got a success in Greenland, but actually, all he&#8217;s got is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-777092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
