Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the agreement between Denmark, Greenland and the United States protects the red lines concerning the kingdom's sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the right of the people of Greenland to self-determination.
In comments to Danish television channel TV 2 on Sunday, Frederiksen said strengthening security and protecting vital interests in a world going through a difficult period had been decisive in the negotiations.

Details of the text will remain confidential until signing
The Danish prime minister said she would not disclose details of the agreement's specific contents before it was signed. Frederiksen said there was intense interest in and speculation about the text, adding that she would not share its contents until a signed agreement was in place.
Frederiksen said Greenlanders were closely following what the agreement would mean for them. She added that she and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen would not sign a text that would be detrimental to Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

She will meet Trump in New York
Frederiksen confirmed that the agreement was planned to be signed in New York and said she would meet US President Donald Trump there. She said she expected all parties to implement the agreement, adding that the political and diplomatic negotiations had lasted a long time.
Frederiksen said she had a good relationship with US President Trump and believed the agreement would be beneficial for security. She said the text would also benefit Europe and NATO, particularly by contributing to security in the Arctic and across the Atlantic.
