Trump signs new U.S. security deal with Greenland
President Trump, Greenland Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen signed a new security agreement Tuesday. CBS News' Charlie D'Agata has the details.
During his recent trip to New York for the U.N. General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a deal alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. This agreement allows the United States to increase its military presence in Greenland, a move not previously requested by the Greenlandic leaders due to the island nation's opposition to a complete U.S. takeover.
Trump emphasized that the agreement grants the U.S. "permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory," asserting that no adversary will be allowed to establish a military presence in Greenland nor make sensitive investments without U.S. approval. Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen called the agreement "forever," highlighting its significance for Europe and the United States, with the NATO alliance and Greenland's self-determination at its core.
Greenland Prime Minister Nielsen stressed that the deal respects the interests and rights of the Greenlandic people while ensuring a stronger allied presence in the Arctic. This agreement comes after Trump's earlier comments about Greenland, including his interest in purchasing the island and offering economic and military benefits.
