Trump Says US to Gain Permanent Control Over Greenland’s Security

US President Donald Trump says Washington has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that would give the United States permanent control over Greenland’s security.

The agreement is expected to strengthen the US military presence on the Arctic island and restrict military bases by countries considered US adversaries.

Denmark and Greenland have confirmed the agreement while emphasizing that Danish sovereignty over Greenland and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination remain intact.

The pact is expected to be signed during next week’s UN General Assembly and will require parliamentary approval in Denmark and Greenland.

The development marks a significant shift in discussions over Arctic security and US-Danish defence cooperation, while details of the agreement remain limited.
