President Donald Trump said Friday he has a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence in Greenland after months of threatening to take island by force from the NATO ally.
Trump in a social media post announcing the deal said the agreement “gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”
He added that with the agreement his administration would “immediately” begin the process of developing a larger military presence on the mineral-rich Danish territory.
The office of Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the deal will be signed by three governments next week during the United Nations General Assembly, but parliamentary action is still needed by the Danish and Greenland governments before it can be enforced.
In a statement she said “the agreement recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Greenland and Denmark and upholds both people’s right “to self-determination.”

With his return to the White House last year, Trump called on Denmark to sell the island to the United States, while insisting that Greenland is crucial for U.S. security. He pointedly wouldn’t rule out taking the island by military force, even though Denmark is a NATO ally of the U.S.
Denmark and Greenland repeatedly said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there. The U.S. push for Greenland is also opposed by Russia and much of Europe.
But Trump in his social media post Friday suggested an understanding may been reached that could bring an end to what was viewed as an existential crisis by Denmark.
“We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land,” Trump said in his post. “We will be very protective of it!”

Carney says Canada ‘fully prepared’ to defend the Arctic in response to Greenland question
In one negotiation, Greenland just went from a “middle power” to a “large power” or whatever Carney calls it on his new world order list.
@best, has a hose from his butt to his nose when he farts, he’s what you call DIFFERENT
Took him a while to work out what to do. No invasion necessary. History shows the groundwork was already in place since WWII. Just had to ask, as they had indicated in 2015.
Not a good idea to believe everything the voices say.
The mentally deranged White House rapist continues to think he can take over the world and do whatever he wants. What a terrible excuse for a human being. It’s even more sad that his followers drink his cool aid.
President Trump makes another WIN for USA. Carney is still yet get a point on the scoreboard for Canada, in fact we are like negative 67.
@Bwana4 Well said! Just adding more military personnel on a block of ice. I wonder if Trump is going to put a deal to buy Greenland for $1.5 trillion instead of the fake $5000 dividend to every American if he wins the midterms. It will never go thru Congress but Trump does what is best for himself.
So in other words Trump negotiated nothing since this agreement (The 1951 Defense Agreement) has been in place for years. Now he’ll claim a BIGLY win, the best there has ever been for Greenland and USA; LMAO!
Anonymous the village idiot. Leave your dark bsmt and get some fresh air…maybe it will help with your negative comments.
Anonymous is a village idiot full of hot air…..sigh
What a bad choice for Denmark.
Just a matter of time before ottawa is nuked
Amazing that anyone, anywhere at this point believes that Trump will abide by any terms once he floods Greenland with US troops. NATO and politicians pretending that they are dealing with a truthful, honourable person, the wolfs at the door, you are inviting him in.
And then I laughed some more…
Did Carney, who was very high-profile a few months ago, cooperate with Denmark and the Greenland alliance to defend against the United States ?Even a symbolic dispatch of troops is necessary? So quickly dumped by someone? The alliance is just too fragile.
Trump has a deal with everyone and the wars are over. Every country really wants a deal with the US. Lies, lies and more lies, delusional Trump doesn’t know what is going on and how he is viewed world wide. Time for another nap until your next golf game.
Interesting how Trump can get deals done but Carney Liberals are incapable of doing so.
This is a limited security deal, and as usual Trump and his Poilievre conservative supporters overstate it. Poilievre is just waiting on his orders from the Trump administration before commenting.

Well, at least the 100 American military will be joyous to know that more of them will keep them company to go the land of the loneliest or least populated density land. If Trump thinks the American can plunder the resources, the rest of the world, especially Greenlanders will never let that happen. Not surprisingly, no American oil company have shown interest in the Venezuelan oil because they all know the country is a death trap.
They won’t protect it, they’ll start plundering it for the natural resources within days of the deal being signed.
STRIKE ONE, AGAINST ONE OF THE WEAKEST AND HUMBLE PEACELOVING COUNTRY IN THE WOULD
JUST LIKE HIS PAL PUTIN. BULLY TRUMP. HE MUST GO.
A bad deal for Denmark and Greenland.
“Trump called on Denmark to sell the island to the United States”
Perhaps Canada should ‘buy’ Alaska from the USA. They bought it from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million. We can offer them the same price and make it the 11th province!
