DENMARK AND U.S. REACH DEFENCE AGREEMENT

Denmark has reached a defence agreement with the United States that will allow U.S. soldiers and military equipment to be based on Danish soil. The 10-year agreement was announced after the United States signed similar agreements with Finland and Sweden this month. The agreement, which Denmark and the United States began negotiating in February last year, will be signed later this week and will enter into force when necessary legislation has been adopted about a year from now. Finland on Monday signed a defence cooperation agreement with the United States to grant the U.S. military broad access across the Nordic country to the vicinity of its long border with Russia.
