Trump in his speech confirmed the US plans to develop a large military presence in Greenland, including building 2 major bases in appropriate locations will prevent any adversary from establishing a military presence or making sensitive investments in Greenland without U.S. approval. • • Full quote: • • As I announced just days ago, the United States has also reached an unprecedented agreement regarding the northern frontier of North America, the large and strategically vital piece of land known as Greenland. This agreement made with the Kingdom of Denmark, an incredible, beautiful country, and the Greenland people itself, gives the United States permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory. We will have the complete ability to do what is necessary to defend the American continent and also Europe and other places. No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore, or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations, we'll be building two very major military bases. This agreement will be signed later today, and I look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland.
[UPDATE] U.S. strikes Greenland deal for 'permanent control over security,' will send forces to Danish dogsled outpost and reopen Cold War base: Report (first reported at 2026-09-22T05:00:18+0000)
The U.S. reportedly plans to reopen a Cold War-era military base in southern Greenland and station forces at an eastern outpost currently run by the Danish dog sled patrol, part of a broader security agreement the US, Denmark and Greenland are set to sign Tuesday. • • The agreement came as Trump has pushed for U.S. control of Greenland and at times declined to rule out military or economic force to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory, alarming Greenlanders and opening a rift within NATO nations. • • Find out more about the agreement:
The United States will reopen two military bases in Greenland, one of which dates back to the Cold War. The reopening will take place under a new agreement with Denmark, Reuters reports. "The base in question is Narsarsuaq, whose population has dwindled to a few dozen people since the United States closed its Bluie West One military base there in the 1950s," the agency reports. In addition, the plan is to station a US military contingent at Mestersvig Base on Greenland's east coast, which is currently used by the Danish Dog Patrol. On September 19, Trump claimed that Denmark had ceded security control over Greenland to the United States. Denmark, the United States, and Greenland will sign an agreement on strengthening security in the Arctic and North Atlantic on September 22. The Pentagon will allegedly immediately begin deploying a large military contingent to the island. Pictured is the Mestersvig base. More IZ RU news in MAX
The United States plans to reopen a Cold War-era military base in southern Greenland and establish a military presence at a base on the island's east coast now used by the Danish Sled Dog Patrol, according to an agreement to be signed on Tuesday between the United States, Denmark and Greenland, three sources familiar with the matter said.
Denmark and Greenland affirm that the proposed agreement with the United States to bolster its military presence on the island "will not infringe upon its sovereignty or the right of its people to self-determination," while Trump spoke of granting Washington "permanent control" over Nuuk's security.
U.S., DENMARK AND GREENLAND REACH SECURITY DEAL • • The U.S., Denmark and Greenland have agreed to expand America’s military presence in Greenland, with signing expected next week at the UN General Assembly. • • Denmark and Greenland insist the agreement will not compromise Greenland’s sovereignty, despite Trump saying Washington will have “permanent control” over the island’s security. • • Key details of the deal remain unclear.
The United States has agreed to grant permanent administrative control over Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, as announced by President Trump; the development of large-scale military bases is set to begin.
Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that will give the United States permanent control of security and all other needs in Greenland and address all of the United States' numerous concerns. He said the agreement will not cost the United States anything.
The Danish Prime Minister's Office also announced that Greenland, Denmark and the United States are expected to sign an agreement next week to strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic regions.
"From now on, no adversary of the United States will be able to establish a base, have a military presence or make sensitive investments in Greenland without our express written approval," Trump said.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsted also said: "We will immediately begin the process of establishing a large military presence in an appropriate part of Greenland; there are many suitable parts for this purpose."

The U.S. is set for a major expansion of its military presence in Greenland under a new security agreement reached with Denmark and Greenland. • • The deal gives Washington expanded long-term military access while barring Russia, China and other non-NATO countries from establishing bases or maintaining a military presence on the strategically vital Arctic island. • • It stops short of transferring sovereignty over Greenland to the U.S., with Denmark saying the agreement preserves its territorial integrity and Greenlanders' right to self-determination. The agreement is expected to be signed next week and still requires parliamentary approval. • • Read more on the historic deal:
U.S. AND DENMARK CLOSE IN ON GREENLAND DEAL • • The U.S. and Denmark are nearing a potential agreement that could expand the American military presence in Greenland, Reuters reports. • • The proposed deal would stop short of Trump’s stated ambition to acquire Greenland outright, but could allow the island to support the U.S. Golden Dome missile-defense system. • • The sides are also discussing measures to limit Chinese presence and influence in Greenland. • • An agreement could reportedly be announced within days or weeks, although Trump’s level of support for the emerging deal remains unclear.
