12. What was the original NATO deal for Greenland?

We can put two bases there, and our Navy ships and subs can pull into port, while no Soviet or Communist Chinese ships or subs can come into Greenland Waters.
Any business interests or non-NATO operations on Greenland (resource extraction, processing plants, ect...) need to get permission from both the US and Denmark.
Okay, gives a bit too much to the US, but reasonable enough. Maybe they gave him another base location, or will allow the Navy to build up a port facility.
