U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Denmark and Greenland, according to him, that would grant the United States broad, indefinite authority to secure the island's safety. The agreement was reached after talks with representatives from both nations. Trump stated that Washington would have the power to take any measures necessary in Greenland to protect the island and U.S. national security.
He emphasized that no adversary country would be allowed to establish a military base, deploy forces, or make investments on the island without U.S. approval. Trump claimed the agreement, dubbed the "Infinite Life" Agreement, was historic and a dream come true for the United States. He did not disclose specific legal terms of the deal.
U.S. officials have long viewed Greenland's strategic importance, particularly its Arctic location and potential for a missile defense system.
