Trump signs security deal with Greenland, Denmark at UN

US President Donald Trump signed a security deal with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The agreement allows for a larger US military presence on Greenland. According to the Jerusalem Post, the deal permits the US to establish a "Golden Dome" defense system in Greenland as a shield against ballistic missile threats.

The deal was signed by Trump, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark, and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland. Trump described the relationship as "long-term, fantastic" and "tremendous". The agreement reportedly stops short of Trump's demand for the US to adopt Greenland as a US territory.

The New Voice of Ukraine reported that Trump mentioned the US would build two "very major" military bases in Greenland. The PBS NewsHour noted that the deal aims to bolster the US military presence on the island while keeping it under Danish control.
