Denmark Approves US Military Bases on Danish Soil as Trump Eyes Greenland
- On June 3, 2025, Denmark’s parliament passed legislation permitting the United States to set up military installations within Danish territory, building on a prior 2023 agreement.
- This approval follows a previous NATO defence deal with the Biden administration that granted US troops access to Danish airbases amid Trump's interest in Greenland.
- The deal allows the United States to deploy troops and set up bases at three airfields in Jutland, granting limited law enforcement authority over its personnel stationed there.
- The bill passed with 94 votes in favor and 11 against, amid a split public opinion, with a Voxmeter poll showing 41% support, 33% opposition, and concerns over sovereignty.
- Critics argue the deal cedes Danish sovereignty and risks misuse of jurisdiction, but Denmark retains the right to terminate if US actions threaten Greenland or NATO commitments.
