US and Denmark reach Greenland security deal; Trump claims 'permanent control'
President Trump says the United States has secured "permanent control" over Greenland's security under an agreement with Denmark, though exact terms remain undisclosed.
President Donald Trump announced a deal with Denmark granting Washington "permanent control" over Greenland's security while keeping the Arctic territory under Danish sovereignty. Both Denmark and Greenland have welcomed the agreement, but specific details of the arrangement have not been made public.
Trump's announcement follows months of statements expressing US interest in controlling Greenland, which had prompted concerns among residents about a potential US invasion. The deal represents a shift in approach from those earlier claims.
