US to Gain Permanent Control Over Greenland Security, Trump Says

In a address to the United Nations General Assembly, the American president asserted that the United States will secure permanent oversight of Greenland’s security through the construction of two large military installations. The deal, reached with the Danish government and Greenlandic authorities, is portrayed as a breakthrough that widens America’s strategic reach across the Arctic, North America, and Europe.

Trump warned that any country considered an enemy of the United States will be prohibited from setting up forces or conducting sensitive projects in Greenland without a written waiver from Washington. No specific nation was identified, but the statement underscores U.S. apprehension about rising strategic rivalry in the polar region.

He also tied the Greenland initiative to a broader strengthening of NATO, praising the alliance’s recent commitments to higher defense spending. The agreement is expected to be signed later that day, with Trump looking forward to deeper cooperation with Denmark and Greenland.
