Trump, Denmark strike deal to expand US military presence in Greenland
Sydney Morning Heraldwire copy
The United States, Denmark, and Greenland announced a trilateral agreement to expand US military access in Greenland while restricting the presence of adversaries like Russia and China, including permanent basing and overflight rights but not US sovereignty over Greenland. The deal, framed as a milestone for Arctic security, guarantees Greenland’s sovereignty and self-determination while enabling a permanent US military footprint and blocking non-NATO bases or sensitive investments by others.
