On September 18, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Washington had reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark and its autonomous territory of Greenland. The statement, posted on the president’s Truth Social account, claimed that the United States would gain permanent control over Greenland’s security and other needs.
Trump said the deal would allow the United States to maintain a significant military presence on the Arctic island, preventing adversaries from establishing bases there. He added that no enemy could make strategic investments on Greenland without explicit U.S. approval.
The president’s remarks followed a Reuters exclusive that the United States and Greenland were close to finalizing an agreement to strengthen security cooperation in the Arctic and North Atlantic region. However, the agreement had not yet been signed and was expected to be formalized the following week.
Trump emphasized that the arrangement would give the United States “full ability to take necessary actions in Greenland to ensure the security of both Greenland and the United States.” He also stated that the agreement would be “perpetual.”
While the U.S. has expressed interest in increasing its military footprint in Greenland, the agreement remains unconfirmed, and no official documents have been released to substantiate the president’s claims.
