Denmark Denies Choosing Music for US-Greenland Security Pact Ceremony
Denmark said it had no role in selecting the song “Send in the Clowns” that was played before the signing of the United States-Denmark-Greenland security pact on 18 September in New York. The pact, announced by President Donald Trump and signed by leaders of the United States, Denmark and Greenland, expands U. S.
military access in Greenland, granting long-term security rights, allowing the reactivation of a former base at Narsarsuaq and the opening of a new facility at Mestersvig, and places Arctic defence under NATO oversight. Earlier reports detailed the agreement’s provisions, including restrictions on non-NATO activity and affirmation of Danish sovereignty.
