US-Denmark Greenland Pact Grants Permanent Security Control, Not Sovereignty
President Donald Trump announced a new agreement with Denmark and Greenland granting the US 'permanent control' over the territory's security and 'all other needs' at no cost. The deal, described by Trump as an 'Infinite Life' agreement, bars non-NATO adversaries like Russia and China from establishing military bases or making 'sensitive investments' in the Arctic territory. While the US claims this resolves its security concerns, Danish and Greenlandic leaders emphasize that the pact respects Danish sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination. The official text is not yet public, but signing is expected at the UN General Assembly next week, followed by parliamentary ratification in Copenhagen and Nuuk.
