US to open two new military bases in Greenland, sources say
The pact would expand the U.S. military footprint in Greenland and bar non-NATO rivals from sensitive investments and bases.
- On Tuesday, the United States, Denmark, and Greenland will sign an agreement at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to reopen the former Bluie West One military base in Narsarsuaq and establish a presence at Mestersvig.
- President Donald Trump's repeated pressure to acquire the territory triggered a diplomatic crisis, pushing Denmark and Greenland into negotiations with the United States to defuse mounting tensions.
- During the Cold War, the United States maintained 17 military installations and more than 10,000 personnel in Greenland; today only the Pituffik Space Base remains, housing some 150 military personnel.
- The agreement places Arctic security under the watch of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, shifting oversight away from the bilateral arrangement previously maintained solely by the United States and Denmark.
- Details of the deal remain undisclosed, with three people familiar with the matter noting provisions are not finalized until the formal signing occurs at the United Nations General Assembly.
