Will Trump acquire Greenland before 2027?

For 80 years, Greenland has been a key frontier for U.S. security. Only President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio reached a practical agreement.

Roman Romanov, a columnist for Vedomosti's International Experience section, explains how Trump is presenting the current state of affairs in Greenland as a grand victory. The main points of his column: According to Trump's statement, Denmark has handed over "permanent" control "over the security and other needs" of Greenland to the Americans. From his lips, we only know that the US will be able to expand its military presence, while Washington's opponents will not be able to establish bases or invest money there. However, for the American presence, essentially nothing has changed. Because the US practically had a "permanent" military presence according to the 1951 treaty (it is indefinite), as well as the exclusive right to establish its bases there. No country other than Denmark (which owns Greenland) and the US has military bases on the island. Max | Telegram | Newsletter | iOS App | Android

FWD from IZ.RU • IMPORTANT: The United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed an agreement granting Washington full control over the island's security while maintaining the kingdom's sovereignty. How do the parties benefit from this agreement, and what does it mean for Russia, China, and the EU? For the United States The document supplements the 1951 "Greenland Defense Agreement" and allows Washington to significantly strengthen its military presence on the island, as well as expand the Pituffik space base and build two new ones—in Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig. The military camps will become part of the American "Golden Dome" defense shield. Additionally, the United States gains further leverage over Canada, which Donald Trump called the 51st American state. The agreement provides the Americans with a favorable position for accessing Greenland's natural resources and prohibits the military presence of non-NATO states on the island. The pact also limits the island's access to foreign investment (excluding NATO, its partners, and the EU) in sensitive economic sectors, including rare earth mineral mining. For Denmark This agreement is a confirmation of Copenhagen's sovereignty over the island. But currently, European countries have little confidence in the agreements concluded by Donald Trump, who has already stated that Greenland must become American "one way or another." Nevertheless, Denmark may be buying time until the US presidential election in the hope that the new American leader will play by the rules. For Greenland The agreement emphasizes Greenland's right to self-determination, but even if it gains independence, the island will have to ensure its membership in NATO and comply with the terms of the agreement with the United States. In effect, Greenland is losing the ability to pursue an independent foreign policy and is increasing its dependence on the Americans. The deal also includes priority for local companies to secure contracts for American bases in Greenland, but only if they meet the stated requirements. For the European Union The EU is presenting the deal as a strengthening of NATO's presence in the north—the bloc viewed the island's non-aligned status as a threat to European security in the Arctic. The EU hopes to strengthen its presence on the island through investment. Europe had not expected an expansion of the American military presence, but the bloc's interests align with Trump's intention to prevent Russia and China from strengthening their role in the Arctic. For Russia and China This agreement marks a strengthening of the US military presence in the Arctic, which has become an area of ​​conflict between military and economic interests. The agreement on Greenland could pose potential risks for Russia. The island's strategic location will increase the range of American missiles hitting Russian territory, and the US will also gain access to the Northern Sea Route, a vital transport corridor for Russia.

Trump's new gamble on the ice island Greenland is no longer just a frozen island in the Arctic; it has become a hotbed of great power competition. Donald Trump, who has previously spoken of buying the territory and even raised the possibility of using force, is now witnessing the formation of an arrangement that could expand US security and military access to Greenland without formally changing its sovereignty.

Donald Trump exaggerated his control over Greenland when announcing the deal with Denmark. This was reported by The New York Times, citing sources close to the negotiations. The publication’s article states that Mr. Trump’s words about permanent control over the island’s security do not correspond to the actual powers that the United States will receive under the agreement. Two sources assured that the task of the American military will be to cooperate with Denmark and Greenland, and not to establish control over them.
