Denmark Endorses Trump's Permanent Security Deal for Greenland
Denmark has expressed support for a "binding" deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, granting the United States "permanent control" over Greenland's security and prohibiting Russian and Chinese military bases in the territory.
This announcement follows Trump's insistence on controlling Greenland for strategic reasons since his return to the White House in January 2025. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen indicated that the deal would be signed at the UN General Assembly in New York next week, aiming to replace a long period of uncertainty with a binding agreement that enhances Arctic security.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized that the agreement respects Denmark's sovereignty and the self-determination of the Greenlandic people. Trump stated that the deal, described as an "'Infinite Life' Agreement," would prevent adversaries from establishing a military presence in Greenland.
The U.S. State Department confirmed that mechanisms are in place to block investments from China and Russia in sensitive sectors.
