Donald Trump claims US has met agreement with Denmark, Greenland to give US ‘permanent control’

The US President has resumed his pursuit to gain control of Greenland.

In a Truth Social post on Saturday morning, Donald Trump wrote that the US had “entered into an agreement” with Denmark and Greenland.

He said the agreement would give the US “permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns”.

“At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America,” Mr Trump wrote.

“Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.”

He claimed that presidents had recognised the “strategic importance” of Greenland for 100 years but had failed to address it.

“I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation,” Mr Trump said.

“We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People.”

“We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many.

“We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.

He said the “solution” would be great and beneficial to the US, Denmark, Greenland, and all allies.

“We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it!

“This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special.”
