President Donald Trump says the United States has reached a deal with Denmark giving Washington “permanent control” over Greenland’s security while leaving the territory firmly in Danish hands. Denmark and Greenland have welcomed the agreement, but its precise terms remain unclear.
The new US-Denmark security agreement over Greenland gives President Donald Trump a diplomatic deal, but falls short of his earlier ambition to annex the territory, according to Richard Weitz, a senior fellow at the NATO Defense College.
The United States and Denmark have reached an agreement on Greenland’s security. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen welcomed the deal, saying it was “to the benefit of us all” and would “ensure and strengthen” the island’s security.
Trump said a deal his administration struck with Denmark would place Greenland’s security under permanent US control. He said the arrangement would temporarily bring to an end an episode that had split the transatlantic alliance.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Denmark and Greenland accepted a Washington deal because Copenhagen could not guarantee the island’s security or afford to defend it against an attack or threat. Donald Trump earlier said the agreement would transfer control of Greenland’s security to Washington and expand the US military presence there.
US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Denmark will give the United States “permanent control over security” in Greenland. The deal is expected to be signed next week, after months of Trump threatening to “take” the Danish territory.
The United States, Denmark and Greenland plan to sign an agreement next week on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly to strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic. It must still pass national parliamentary procedures before taking effect.
