US, Denmark reach deal giving US ‘permanent security control’ over Greenland
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland granting Washington expanded military access while preserving Danish sovereignty over the Arctic territory.

- Under the deal, the U.S. gains permanent overflight and basing rights, while explicitly banning non-NATO nations from establishing military installations or making sensitive investments in Greenland.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen confirmed the deal, which awaits formal signing at the United Nations General Assembly next week pending parliamentary approval.
- The framework strengthens common Arctic security for NATO allies while de-escalating tensions that previously strained relations, reaffirming Greenland's right to self-determination within the Danish Kingdom.
