The United States president said the agreement addresses all of Washington’s security concerns, which he had cited while demanding ‘ownership’ of the region.

United States President Donald Trump on Friday announced that the US had reached a deal with Denmark that gives Washington “permanent control over security” in Greenland.
Trump had been demanding that Washington be given “ownership” of Greenland citing national security concerns, and had sought negotiations to discuss the acquisition of the Danish territory.
While Greenland is self-governed, it relies on the Danish government for defence and foreign policy.
Trump said on Friday that the agreement addresses all of the US’ security concerns and that there will be “no cost” to Washington.
He said that the deal negotiated with Denmark and Greenland would “guarantee that the United States will forever have the complete ability to do what is necessary” in the region “in order to secure and defend the security” of the US and the Artic island.
The US president further said that no adversary could now have military presence or a base in Greenland without permission from Washington. He said that it was an “infinite life” agreement with no end.
The US will “immediately begin” developing a large military presence in Greenland, he added.
The Danish prime minister’s office said that the agreement will be signed next week at the UN General Assembly. The deal will take effect “subject to the necessary national parliamentary procedures”, it added.
