Greenland will pass under North Command of the United States

[As Politico reports, this decision should be taken this week.](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/02/pentagon-greenland-northern-command-00381223). Greenland, as an autonomous subsidiary territory of Denmark, is subject to the Danish central authorities on safety and defence issues, resulting from the 1953 Danish Constitution. In the context of European security, Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which has been a associate of NATO since 1949 and thus its safety is integrated into European defence structures, mainly through Danish Alliance membership.
