Trump’s Greenland strategy has entered a new phase. US President Donald Trump says Washington has reached a major security agreement with Denmark and Greenland that would give the United States “permanent control” over Greenland’s security and other strategic needs. The announcement comes after months of tensions over Trump’s repeated push for greater US control of the strategically located Arctic territory. Under the proposed arrangement, Trump says the United States would be able to expand its military presence in Greenland, while US adversaries would be blocked from establishing military bases or making sensitive investments on the island without American approval.
