Trump says he has a deal with Denmark to bolster US military presence in Greenland
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he has reached a deal with Denmark to strengthen the U.S. military presence in Greenland. This comes after months of Trump's threats to seize the island by force from its NATO ally. In a social media post, Trump stated that the agreement grants the United States "permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns."
He further added that his administration would commence the process of expanding the military presence on Greenland immediately. The Danish embassy in Washington has not yet responded to the news.
