+++ USA +++: USA wollen laut Insidern zwei neue Militärstützpunkte in Grönland eröffnen

The United States intends to establish two new military bases in Greenland, according to insiders. A pact to reopen an old Cold War-era facility in Narsarsuaq and create a new presence in Mestersvig along the eastern coast is expected to be signed on Tuesday at the UN General Assembly in New York, alongside representatives from the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland.

Trump's claims of ending eight wars and achieving the best economic numbers in U.S. history did not provoke significant opposition, according to Mamdani, who hosted the meeting at his Gracie Mansion office in Manhattan. The accord stems from months of pressure from President Donald Trump, who repeatedly demanded that the U.S. control Greenland and temporarily did not rule out the use of military or economic means.

Following the closure of 17 military installations with over 10,000 U.S. soldiers in Greenland during the Cold War, only the Pituffik Spaceport with about 150 U.S. military personnel remains.
