Trump said Friday he had struck a deal to give the United States “permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland,” the semi-autonomous island overseen by Denmark, according to cbsnews. The governments of Greenland and Denmark confirmed they reached a deal with the United States, and both sides expect to sign it in New York City on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, according to cbsnews.
A State Department official said the United States gained permanent access and overflight rights, allowing the military to potentially increase the number of bases, according to cbsnews. The deal blocks non-NATO members from establishing military bases and restricts American adversaries from making sensitive investments in Greenland, according to cbsnews. It stays in place permanently, “even if Greenland becomes a fully independent country,” the official said. The island has hosted a U.S. base on its western coast since the 1950s, according to cbsnews.
“We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many,” Trump said, according to timesofindia.indiatimes. He described the pact as an ““Infinite Life” Agreement” and said sovereignty over the island stays with Denmark, according to timesofindia.indiatimes.
