US Announces Permanent Security Deal for Greenland with Denmark

Reaction to the US permanent security deal for Greenland is split along partisan lines, with pro-Trump voices celebrating it as a major Arctic security win and critics calling it a rehash of the 1951 agreement or a climb-down.

“This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area. This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland.”
