Greenland
President Donald Trump on Friday delivered a stunning announcement that likely will reverberate for a generation to come: A deal with gives the United States “permanent control” over the security for Greenland, and also those security issues for the United States.
It didn’t cost taxpayers anything, he confirmed.
In a post on Truth Social, the president said the agreement addressed “ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”
“At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America,” Trump said.
His statement:
“I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.
“There will be NO COST to the United States!
“Additionally, from now on no 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. For over 100 years, presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the president that permanetly and conclusively addressed this very important situation.”
He said there is no end to the agreement.
Months ago, he laid out a plan:
A report at Newsweek explained he will begin immediately “developing a large military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland … We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.”
Trump repeatedly has called for Greenland to be made part of the United States, and the Friday announcement doesn’t reveal a definitive path for that immediately.
Greenland already has a U.S. military presence under a decades-old defense agreement with Denmark.
The official text was not immediately available. Nor were there immediately announcements from Greenland or Denmark.
