Late Friday Trump Bombshell: US Makes Deal For ‘Permanent Control’ Over Greenland’s Security

President Trump late in the day Friday issued a lengthy, and absolutely bombshell and historic (if true) Greenland-related post on Truth Social, after a long relative silence on what was early on a core priority of his administration.

He has announced that United States has entered into a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland to control the resource rich autonomous territory claimed by Denmark - though at this early stage (and it being night time in Europe) it is anything but clear whether there’s actually confirmation and agreement to this on the European side of things.

The agreement would grant the United States “permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland,“ Trump wrote. He characterized the agreement as adequately addressing longtime White House concerns. But this sounds like it could be sovereignty move, or the creeping beginnings of it.

“At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America,” the president’s post states.

The kicker is that the agreement blocks ‘forever’ (apparently) Russia, China, or all other non-NATO nations from establishing military bases or placing troops in Greenland.

What’s next is a process of initiating an indefinite American military presence on what is the world’s largest island mass. Again, assuming this doesn’t trigger some kind of mass European objection and potential inter-NATO renewed spat.

“This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies,” the post adds. “We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it!”

Given that in many other instances Trump’s social media posts often prove too out front and premature to any actual final agreement, it will be interesting to see what the Danish and EU response to this is.

At this early point, not even Greenland itself has responded to the big Trump unveiling – and so Greenland officials may be waking up tomorrow to a big surprise.

So does the other side actually know the contents of the ‘agreement’ that was just declared?
