Trump Says US Reaches Security Deal With Denmark on Greenland

In September 2026, President Donald Trump announced that the United States has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland giving the US control over security on the island. Trump described it as a historic deal that grants the US "permanent" military rights and "total control" of Greenland's security needs.

The announcement came from Trump himself; there was no immediate independent confirmation of the deal's terms from Danish or Greenlandic officials in the headlines. Few other details were provided about what the agreement covers or when it would take effect.
