Trump claims 'permanent control' over Greenland security: What new US-Denmark deal entails
President Donald Trump said his administration reached an agreement with Denmark giving the US “permanent control over security” for Greenland.
US President Donald Trump announced a new agreement with Denmark and Greenland that grants Washington "permanent control" over the island's security. The deal prevents countries like Russia and China from setting up military bases or making investments in Greenland without the US's approval. While Denmark and Greenland have welcomed the agreement, the specifics remain unclear.
The US already has a military presence in northern Greenland, and the 1951 defence pact allows for expanded troop deployments and installations, with advance notification to Denmark and Greenland. The new deal aims to prevent non-NATO countries from establishing military bases in Greenland and to monitor investments in sensitive sectors.
Greenland remains an autonomous territory of Denmark, with Copenhagen responsible for defence and foreign policy. The agreement is expected to be signed during a UN General Assembly event in New York.
