Denmark's Leaders Cautiously Optimistic About Trump's Announcement of Greenland Deal
- On September 19, President Donald Trump announced a 'binding' deal giving the United States permanent security control over Greenland, effectively barring Russian and Chinese military bases from the Arctic territory.
- Since returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump has insisted on controlling Greenland for strategic reasons, previously threatening to use force against the territory of 57,000 inhabitants.
- Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the agreement 'recognises the sovereignty' of the Kingdom, while Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen added that the deal 'strengthens' the territory's security.
- Signing the agreement on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week will replace a period of uncertainty with a binding pact securing the Arctic and North Atlantic.
- Critics note that Washington already possessed military access under existing agreements, and Danish commentators suggest Trump gained little, as the deal respects Denmark's 'red lines' regarding sovereignty.
