Viral 'Clowns' Claim Debunked as US Finalizes Arctic Defense Pact
Social media claims that Denmark played 'Send in the Clowns' to mock US officials during the September 22 signing of a new Arctic security pact are false. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed they did not select the music. The agreement, signed at the UN, grants the US expanded military access to Greenland, including new bases at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, while barring non-NATO nations from military or economic influence in the territory.
