Trump Announces Permanent US Security Control Over Greenland in Deal With Denmark
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Trump announced on September 18 that the United States has reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland granting the US permanent control over security in Greenland. Trump described the deal as covering security and "all other needs" in Greenland, saying the US will "forever have complete ability to do what is necessary" there to ensure the island's defense.
The agreement stops short of Trump's longstanding ambition to acquire Greenland outright but delivers several of his core objectives. Trump said it comes at "no cost to the United States" and is structured as an "Infinite Life" deal with no expiration. Under its terms, no adversary can establish a base or military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments there, without express written US approval, addressing American concerns about Chinese influence on the island. The US will also immediately begin developing a large military presence in Greenland and will work with Greenlanders on that construction.
Reuters had reported just minutes before Trump's announcement that the two sides were close to an agreement that would expand American military presence and could allow Greenland to support the US Golden Dome missile-defense system. Denmark and Greenland had not independently confirmed the deal at the time of Trump's announcement, though Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had said earlier Monday she was "quite optimistic" that the three parties could reach a security and defense agreement within days or weeks.
