U.S. and Denmark Reach Security Deal on Greenland, Trump Says
President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that he said gives the United States permanent control over Greenland's security. Danish and Greenlandic leaders said the pact expands the American military presence while preserving the island's sovereignty, self-determination, and status within the Kingdom of Denmark. Reported terms would bar non-NATO adversaries from military bases or sensitive investments and build on the existing U.S. presence at Pituffik Space Base. Detailed provisions have not been released, and the agreement is expected to require formal signing and parliamentary approval in Denmark and Greenland before taking effect.
