Trump announces security deal with Greenland, ending dispute with Denmark, EU and NATO

US President Donald Trump has announced a security deal with Denmark and Greenland, giving the United States a significant military presence in the Arctic territory. According to Trump, the agreement will provide Washington with "complete ability" to take action to secure and defend Greenland and the US, without incurring any cost to the US.

The deal, described as an "Infinite Life" agreement with no expiry date, will allow the US to prevent its adversaries from establishing military bases or making sensitive investments in Greenland without Washington's approval. The US will establish a large military presence in the territory, although details on new US bases remain unclear, according to Haaretz.

Greenland remains under Danish sovereignty, and the agreement recognises the territory's interests and the Greenlandic people's right to self-determination. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the deal would strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic while recognising Denmark's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
