Denmark Says US Gets No Special Access to Greenland Resources

This is a rare public correction of a sitting US president by a close ally, and it narrows the gap between political rhetoric and legal reality in Greenland. The September agreement, whatever its security dimensions, is not a resource-access deal, which matters for any operator assuming US firms would get a first-mover advantage there. The open question is whether Washington's public framing shifts to match Copenhagen's, or whether the mismatch itself becomes a source of friction over Arctic investment.
