President Donald Trump has announced that the United States has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that he says will give Washington permanent control over security and other strategic needs in Greenland. According to Trump, the agreement fully addresses U.S. concerns regarding Greenland and will not impose any costs on the United States. He said the agreement guarantees that the United States will have the ability “forever” to take whatever measures it considers necessary to secure and defend Greenland and the United States.
Trump also noted the agreement prevents any U.S. adversary from establishing a base or military presence in Greenland, or making sensitive investments there, without Washington's express written approval. Trump described the agreement as an “Infinite Life” Agreement, saying that it would have no expiration date. He also announced that the United States would immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in an appropriate part of Greenland.
The U.S. president described the agreement as a positive outcome for the United States, Denmark, Greenland and U.S. allies, and said Washington looked forward to working with Denmark and Greenland on the future development of the strategically important territory.
