President Trump announced a deal with Denmark that he said gives the United States "permanent control over security" in Greenland, coming after months of Trump threatening to take the island by force from the NATO ally. The agreement would allow the US to expand its military presence in the Arctic territory, reportedly aimed at preventing Russia and China from establishing bases there. Denmark and Greenland said the deal preserves their sovereignty and right to self-determination, though specific terms remain unclear and parliamentary action is still needed by both governments before it can be enforced. Trump's announcement marks a shift from his earlier push to annex the mineral-rich island outright.
