Trump's Greenland Power Play: A Rebuttal to Permanent Control President Donald Trump's claim that the US has secured a "permanent control" over security in Greenland is a misrepresentation of the new agreement between the US, Denmark, and Greenland.
The existing 1951 pact already grants sweeping rights to the US military on the island, including construction, equipment installation, and personnel deployment.
Trump's announcement is merely an expansion of the existing agreement's terms, not a new development that would grant the US complete control over Greenland.
