Trump says U.S. to build a ‘large Military presence’ in Greenland as part of a security deal with it and Denmark

President Donald Trump said the U.S. struck an agreement with Greenland and Denmark.

“We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland,” Trump said on Truth Social.

The deal as described appears to stop far short of Trump’s prior insistence that Greenland must be made a part of the United States.

Will this be a good military assignment?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Most of us knew he would eventually get this when he gamely said the US would 'Just take it'.

He got what he wanted all along.

Well now. Do you not see the irony of your statement?

[BobfromWB]

Depends on the meaning of "good." In the old days, this would be a "hardship" post and extra pay for the duty.

[corbe]

   I'll agree I thought it was more BS coming from his mouth, but this is a Great for the USA.  Kudos to President Trump for making it happen.

Why Greenland and Trumps Greenland deal is so important

-Arctic sealanes
-Golden dome
-Critical resources like rare earth minerals

◾️on the map you can see the retreating icecap has opened shippinglanes for periods of the year. Greenland offers a place to monitor and restrict Russian and Chinese naval and submarine movements through the strategic North Atlantic sea corridor (known as the GIUK gap). And it complements Alaska to exert strategic control of the Arctic waters.

◾️The map also shows why Greenland is crucial for Trumps golden dome project, Us missile shield.
▶️Polar Flight Path: Sits directly under the shortest trajectory incoming missiles would take over the North Pole to hit the U.S.
▶️Safe Interception: Allows intercepting missiles in space so toxic debris falls over Arctic ice instead of American cities.
▶️Satellite Tracking Hub: Offers frequent, direct communication with polar-orbiting satellites tracking incoming threats.
▶️Perfect Laser Conditions: Features cold, dry, ultra-clear air that optimizes advanced laser and sensor tracking.
▶️Existing Radar Base: Leverages the Pituffik Space Base to feed early-warning radar data straight into the defense shield.

◾️Greenland holds some of the world's largest untapped reserves of rare earth minerals, including critical metals like lithium, titanium, cobalt, and nickel.These minerals are vital for advanced electronics, electric vehicle batteries, and defense technology. Acquiring influence over these reserves reduces U.S. reliance on China, which currently dominates the global supply chain.

President Trump Won Big on Greenland

Let’s review what the U.S. gets from the deal made by @realDonaldTrump

1. The deal gives the U.S. permanent control over security and all other needs in Greenland at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer.

2. Several U.S. adversaries will be prohibited from establishing military bases or maintaining a military presence in Greenland, or making sensitive investments in Greenland without having U.S. approval.

3. The agreement allows the U.S. to expand its military presence and establish additional military facilities in Greenland as needed.

4. President Trump calls the deal an “Infinite Life” agreement meaning there is no end date.

5. The U.S. will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in Greenland and will work with Greenland on development and construction.

This is a great deal for America and Greenland by President Donald J. Trump.

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.

So did the Danes actually sign the deed to Greenland over to the U.S., or just re-confirm the terms of the existing 1951 treaty?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Apparently according to other reports, the deal has to go through some formal UN approval, but the entire deal is dependent on approval by the Danish Parliament.

 US to take over two Cold War-era military bases in Greenland after historic deal with Denmark
By Samuel Chamberlain
Published Sep. 22, 2026
Updated Sep. 22, 2026, 9:40 a.m. ET

President Trump will meet later Tuesday with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark to formally sign a deal that will bolster America’s military presence on the world’s largest island, ending a standoff that had hindered US-European relations.

A formal text of the agreement, announced by Trump Friday evening and confirmed by Copenhagen soon after, was not publicly available Tuesday morning. However, three people familiar with negotiations told Reuters the deal will give the US full control over two additional military sites.

In addition to the existing Pituffik Space Base, the US will also have access to Narsarsuaq, a former World War II and Cold War-era airbase surrounded by a settlement whose population has dwindled to just a few dozen; and Mestersvig, currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, an elite Danish special forces unit.

Trump said on Friday that the deal gives the US “permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland.” Denmark has not responded to Trump’s assertion but has said the agreement respects the kingdom’s sovereignty and Greenland’s right to self-determination.

Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said the agreement will place Arctic security under NATO’s collective watch rather than leaving it to Washington and Copenhagen alone.

Greenland, a former colony and now a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, sits between the Arctic and North America and holds vast energy resources.

No, but we get more military bases, Russia and China don't, and we get mineral rights, like Lithium and other rare earths.  The agreement is better than the 1951 agreement because if NATO goes away we retain those rights.

[Timber Rattler]

Fair enough.  Cudos for Trump then.

We get mineral rights? Like the exclusive right to drill anywhere for any mineral? We don't even get that in our own country.

[libertybele]

Exactly.  This is a huge feather in Trump's cap and a huge win for the United States.

[The_Reader_David]

Trump is an ignorant buffoon.

Period.

Quite.  He could have had even more, and sooner, and without alienating allies in the process, if instead of blustering and threatening and swaggering, he had quitely approached the Greenland independence movement with an offer of a Compact of Free Association with the US for an independent Greenland and a little more development money than the Danes give them.

You have no idea what was going on in the background.

He made the point the way that things worked out.

And 'Allies' have been freeloaders for way too long on our expense, and he called them out.

A sympton of TDS is always finding a negative, even when the objectives have been reached.

Examination of Greenland deal shows US is big winner and we have veto power over any non-EU country obtaining access to resources.

I cannot imagine a better arrangement for us.

JENNINGS: “It was a momentous thing.”

“And for a year and a half or almost two years now, I’ve been listening to everyone have a complete and total hysterical meltdown about this, about how we’ve ruined our relationship with Denmark, about how this has weakened Europe and weakened NATO, blah, blah, blah.”

“If you listen to her speech today, it could not have been more pro-American and pro-Trump and pro national security, and it was perfect!”

“And it got done despite all of the hysteria.”

“So when I hear the same hysteria, people coming out here and claiming somehow we’ve decimated the entire Iranian military, and that means they’re winning…I somehow feel like maybe, just maybe, we’re on the right track!”
