Trump and Denmark struck a deal giving the US "permanent control" over Greenland's security — blocking China and Russia from military bases or "sensitive investments" there, and letting Washington build its own bases without needing Greenlandic or Danish approval. Denmark says sovereignty stays intact and Greenland's own PM calls it fair, but 85% of Greenlanders opposed US annexation in a 2025 poll. A smart compromise that headed off a real land grab, or is Trump getting almost everything he wanted anyway?

Denmark and Greenland say the deal protects their sovereignty — critics say it hands the US sweeping new military rights instead.
