00:05A post on X claims that Denmark chose to play the song Send in the Clowns before US President Donald
00:13Trump met the Danish and Greenlandic prime ministers for a deal signing ceremony at the UN in New York.
00:20The post has gathered more than 1.3 million views. However, the claim is not true. There is no evidence
00:27that Danish officials or the media selected the music played before the event on the 22nd of September.
00:33The signing ceremony sealed a new security deal between the US, Denmark and Greenland following months of threats by the
00:41US President to annex the Danish territory.
00:43The Cube reached out to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which said it was not involved in the choice
00:49of music during the signing.
00:51Yet, Send in the Clowns was indeed one of the tracks played before the event as US State Secretary Marco
00:59Rubio entered the room.
01:00In the replay on United Nations TV, we can hear the song being played moments before Trump entered to sign
01:07the agreement with Frederiksen and Nielsen.
01:10The deal was closed after 10 months of talks, putting an end to the political debate for control of Greenland
01:16after Trump repeatedly threatened to take it by force.
01:20It allows greater US military presence in Greenland while keeping the Arctic territory in Denmark's ends.
01:27NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also welcomed the new deal.
01:32On X, he wrote that the agreement enhances the collective security of NATO members and supports a safer and more
01:40stable future for them all.
01:42Greenland is politically attached to Europe through Denmark, but is also regarded as a strategic asset for North America by
01:50the Trump administration.
