Trump claims deal for permanent US security control over Greenland

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States and Denmark have signed a deal granting the U.S. permanent control over Greenland's security and barring foreign adversaries from establishing military bases there. Speaking on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, "I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland."

The agreement effectively reserves all rights for the U.S., stating, "From now on, no US adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval."
