Key moments in Trump's push to control Greenland
The deal would let the United States expand forces and bar rival bases, while Denmark says Greenland’s sovereignty remains intact.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States, Denmark, and Greenland reached a military agreement to boost American presence on the island while prohibiting adversaries from building bases there.
- Rising tensions over the Arctic territory followed years of geopolitical conflict regarding Greenland, a semi-autonomous island of 57,000 people under Danish rule for centuries.

- The agreement is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, with Denmark retaining sovereignty while NATO plays a key security role.
