Trump Announces Agreement Giving US Influence Over Arctic Island
The US has secured a deal to give it permanent control over security in Greenland, following a push by President Trump to boost US influence over the Danish-controlled island. The agreement, which was confirmed by the governments of Denmark and Greenland, guarantees the US permanent access to the island and overflight rights, and restricts non-NATO members from establishing military bases. The deal is set to remain in place permanently, even if Greenland becomes a fully independent country. The agreement was first reported by CBS News.
