A trilateral agreement released by the White House permits the United States to modernize and expand Pituffik Space Base in Greenland and establish additional defense areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig. Any foreign military presence requires the consent of all three parties, while further US bases require mutual approval.

Donald Trump has signed a security agreement for Greenland that would allow the US to expand its military presence by modernising and enlarging the existing Pituffik Space Base and creating new defence areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig.
Donald Trump has signed a security agreement on Greenland that will allow the United States to expand its military presence by modernising and enlarging the existing Pituffik Space Base and creating new defence areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig.
Donald Trump said at the UN General Assembly that agreements with Denmark would give the United States permanent, full control over Greenland’s security and other needs. He said Washington would be able to defend the American continent, Europe and elsewhere; documents were being signed during the assembly.
US President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed an agreement assigning the United States responsibility for Greenland’s security. The deal was signed alongside the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York. Trump had said Washington would immediately expand its military presence on the Arctic island.
The United States, Denmark and Greenland have signed an agreement aimed at strengthening security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
The US is expected to establish two military bases in Greenland under a deal with Denmark and Greenland. One would revive the Cold War-era base at Narsarsuaq in the south, while another would be set up at Mestersvig in the east. The agreement is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly, though its text has not been published. Denmark and Greenland say it will respect Greenland’s sovereignty.
After the US, Denmark and Greenland signed a security agreement, an expert said it would not actually give Washington many additional rights. He said Donald Trump nevertheless wanted at all costs to prevent even a tiny risk of Greenland turning towards China, adding that inflating the risk lets Trump voters see him as taking action.

Late-night television comedians have a direct interest in defending the First Amendment. After U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, they responded with sharp criticism.
Donald Trump has launched a 24-hour White House-run YouTube stream amid a dispute with the White House press pool. After barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from reporting there, major television networks suspended coverage and the outlets sued, while Trump’s channel broadcasts speeches, official announcements and selected presidential footage rather than original journalism.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Donald Trump’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, saying the administration restricted their workplace access rather than their ability to operate as news organisations. The outlets sued, while the White House launched a 24-hour “Trump TV” streaming channel.
President Donald Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico has been implemented by the White House and challenged in court by the news organizations. The prevailing concern is that banning one outlet could amount to banning them all.
The White House has launched a 24/7 YouTube livestream called “Trump TV” that reruns Donald Trump’s speeches, bill signings, and other appearances. It began days after Trump barred CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House, drawing criticism as “state-run TV” and lawsuits alleging threats to press freedom.
Days after barring a group of news organizations from the White House, the Trump administration has launched a platform called “Trump TV” that carries old speeches and announcements.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. In an interview on NBC’s “TODAY,” he said President Donald Trump was not shutting down outlets or arresting reporters.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued Donald Trump’s administration on Monday after being barred from White House grounds. They called the selective ban, which was based on their coverage, a blatant First Amendment violation. France 24 described it as an extraordinary escalation of Trump’s longstanding efforts to restrict reporting he dislikes.
A dispute between the White House and television networks over press-pool access has disrupted coverage of presidential events. Trump barred CNN, Politico and MS NOW, accusing them of spreading “fake news,” after which five major TV networks withdrew from pool duties. The three outlets are suing, saying their credentials were revoked in retaliation for their reporting; a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
The five leading US television networks—ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC—jointly boycotted coverage of Donald Trump on Monday to protest his decision to bar three news outlets from the White House. They said no administration should restrict a news organisation over reporting it dislikes.
Donald Trump made a brief, inaudible remark Monday at a White House ribbon-cutting for a new helipad. After he barred MS NOW, CNN and Politico from the White House, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News suspended their pooled coverage of the president.
The White House has launched a “Trump TV” stream featuring videos and highlights of what it calls the administration’s achievements. The move came days after Trump barred three media outlets from the White House and drew criticism comparing the stream to state propaganda networks in authoritarian countries such as North Korea.
US television networks largely stopped covering President Donald Trump on Monday in protest at his decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. His inauguration of a new White House helipad and trip to the UN General Assembly consequently went without live TV coverage.
Major US television networks suspended pooled coverage of Donald Trump after the White House barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico. The three outlets sued the administration, saying their credentials were revoked because of their reporting and warning that the ban threatens press freedom. The White House has launched its own 24-hour Trump TV stream.
CNN, Politico and MS NOW say they will sue the Trump administration after the White House barred their reporters and revoked their credentials. The outlets argue the action was retaliation for coverage, taken without notice or due process, and threatens press freedom. They asked a federal court in Washington to declare the ban unconstitutional and block its enforcement. Major US television networks then suspended pooled White House coverage.
US President Donald Trump mounted a forceful defence of the deeply unpopular US-Israeli war against Iran at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, saying Washington would reach a deal with Tehran after the upcoming US midterm elections.

The EU has agreed to delist Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman while extending sanctions on nearly 3,000 people and companies accused of supporting the war in Ukraine for three years. Ireland’s EU presidency called the arrangement a “difficult compromise”; Ukraine condemned the decision as unacceptable, “shameful and unjustifiable.”
TThe GuardianOriginal★★★★☆2026-09-22 17:00
The EU is expected to lift sanctions on Russian businessmen Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman after tense negotiations. Slovakia led the push, while France reportedly held up sanctions extensions and sought Usmanov’s delisting as a condition for Azerbaijan to release two French prisoners. The article details Usmanov’s alleged Kremlin ties, wealth and business empire.
EU member states’ permanent representatives agreed to remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list in exchange for extending the Russia sanctions regime for three years. Latvia ultimately lifted its veto through a constructive abstention, while retaining national sanctions against both men.
EU envoys agreed on Tuesday to remove two Russian billionaires from the bloc’s sanctions list while extending measures against the remaining roughly 3,000 individuals and entities for three years, EU diplomats said.
EU ambassadors have agreed for the first time to extend individual sanctions against Russia for three years rather than the usual six months, Reuters reported, citing diplomatic sources. The restrictions affect about 3,000 people. Under pressure from France and Luxembourg, EU representatives also agreed to remove sanctions on Russian businessmen Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman.
Diplomats say Latvia stopped opposing a Franco-Slovak plan to remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the EU sanctions list. The bloc consequently extended sanctions against about 3,000 Russia-linked individuals and entities for 36 months, while Latvia abstained and said it would impose national sanctions on the two men.
The EU has renewed its sanctions against Russia while removing Alisher Usmanov from the sanctions list after a French push linked to a prisoner release with Azerbaijan. Another prominent businessman, Mikhail Fridman, was also removed.
Amid tense negotiations in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the EU must not remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from its sanctions list. He called for stronger pressure on Moscow.
EU countries failed on Monday to finalise a deal that would remove Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the bloc’s sanctions list. Diplomats had earlier said member states provisionally agreed to the move as a compromise to extend sanctions on nearly 3,000 other people and entities over the Ukraine war.
Latvia refused to back a deal that would remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the EU sanctions list in return for extending the broader list, covering about 3,000 Russia-linked people and organizations, for three years. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said a 36-month extension would be appropriate, but should not be bought by removing the two individuals. EU ambassadors had agreed to lift their sanctions if no member state objected.
The EU remains split over a disputed proposal to preserve wider sanctions on nearly 3,000 people and companies accused of enabling Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. The plan would remove Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list, but Latvia says it cannot accept that condition; without agreement, the measures will expire at the end of the day in Brussels.
Vsevolod Chentsov, Ukraine’s deputy premier responsible for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, said sanctions relief should wait until Russia shows “real, concrete” movement toward peace. He also rejected politically motivated removals from the EU’s Russia sanctions lists.
