US and Denmark reach deal on Greenland, Trump says

WASHINGTON - The United States, Denmark and Greenland have entered into an agreement that will see the US develop a significant military presence on the island, while prohibiting US adversaries from building their own bases there, US President Donald Trump said on Sept 18.
asserted
Trump → enter → Sept
In a Truth Social post, the US leader wrote that no US enemies would be able to make sensitive investments on the island without the approval of the United States and that the agreement had no expiry date.

agreement → write → date
“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,” Trump wrote.

Trump → work → America
“Additionally, from now on, no US adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.
asserted
adversary → have → approval
Earlier on Sept 19, Reuters exclusively reported that the US and Greenland were closing in on a deal for the island that would result in an increased US military presence, but would stop well short of Trump’s long-held dream of acquiring the island for the United States.

that → report → States
His announcement suggests he was nonetheless pleased with the outcome of the negotiations, and that he may not revive his territorial claims, at least in the near future.
uncertain
he → suggest → future
He said, without elaborating, that the US would soon be rolling out a large military presence on the island, which already hosts one Space Force base in its remote north-west.
“This is a dream come true for the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
asserted
Trump → say → America
The Danish prime minister’s office said that the agreement would strengthen North Atlantic and Arctic security.
asserted
agreement → say → security
Rubio says deal addresses security concerns
Much remained unclear late on Sept 18, including whether any new US bases would be constructed as a result of the agreement.
uncertain
bases → say → agreement
Trump’s Truth Social posts about negotiations or agreements often lack context or specifics.
asserted
posts → lack → context
The US already has nearly total overflight and basing rights in Greenland due to a 1951 treaty.
asserted
US → have → treaty
It was also unclear how the agreement would be received in Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
uncertain
agreement → receive → Denmark
The island’s residents aspire to independence and have bristled at US attempts to assert hegemony.
asserted
residents → aspire → hegemony
In a separate statement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the deal “permanently and completely” addressed Washington’s national security concerns with respect to the island.
asserted
deal → say → island
“Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defence area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area,” he wrote.
asserted
he → exclude → it
A State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss specific terms, said the deal prohibits non-NATO countries from building a base in Greenland, and will allow only the US and its allies to make unspecified “sensitive investments”.
asserted
US → speak → investments
The official said the agreement grants the US permanent access, basing and overflight rights, and would continue to apply even if Greenland becomes independent.
asserted
Greenland → say → access
