US and Denmark reach deal on Greenland, Trump says

The United States, Denmark and Greenland have signed a security agreement that will see a significant US military presence on the island, according to President Donald Trump. The agreement, reached on Friday, September 18, guarantees that China and Russia cannot establish bases in Greenland, nor can they send troops or make sensitive investments there without explicit US approval.

The US State Department confirmed the deal, stating it ensures the US "complete ability to do what it deems necessary" in Greenland to secure and defend the American continent. President Trump emphasized that no US adversaries would be able to make sensitive investments in Greenland without the country's permission, and the agreement has no expiration date.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed optimism about the prospects of a strong agreement for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States, with the deal expected to be signed during the UN General Assembly.
