Denmark says Greenland sovereignty safe under Trump's deal
The pact appears to preserve U.S. military rights while giving Washington a formal veto over adversarial foreign investments, analysts said.
- On Friday, the United States, Denmark, and Greenland reached an agreement allowing the U.S. to expand its military footprint on the Arctic island while preventing adversaries from establishing bases there.
- President Donald Trump previously threatened to seize the territory, triggering a diplomatic crisis that strained NATO relations and prompting negotiations aimed at defusing the pressure.
- Trump stated the deal "gives the United States permanent control" over Greenland's security, barring adversaries from establishing military bases or making sensitive investments without written approval.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen insist the deal respects sovereignty, though some residents in Nuuk remain skeptical, with retired chef Marianne Hansen saying, "Trump should stay far, far, far away from Greenland."
- Political science professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen noted this is "certainly not the end of US strategic interest" in the territory, as the agreement awaits signing at the UN General Assembly next week.
