Trump Secures Greenland Deal

The United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed a security agreement to expand U.S. military access in Greenland while keeping the Arctic island under Danish sovereignty. The pact bars non-NATO countries from setting up bases or a lasting military presence there, and U.S. and allied officials say it is meant to keep China and Russia out of sensitive sectors. President Donald Trump pushed the deal after threatening to take Greenland, including by force or economic pressure. Trump said it gives Washington permanent security control, while Danish and Greenlandic leaders said it protects self-determination. The deal has no end date, but its full text and ratification steps remain pending.
