USA President said Friday that the United States has entered a security agreement with Greenland and Denmark that gives America a bigger say in the Arctic territory’s affairs and expands its military presence in the country.
Trump said the deal “gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”
“Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval,” he added in a post online.
The Hill is seeking comment from officials representing Greenland and Denmark, which owns the independently governed island.
Trump infuriated Greenland and its allies in NATO with demands for U.S. ownership of the island earlier this year. The deal outlined by Trump appears to fall short of that desire.
