The barrage of posts followed a late-September security agreement among the United States, Denmark and Greenland that clears the way for an expanded U.S. military presence on the island while preserving the region’s status within the Kingdom of Denmark.
asserted
that → follow → Denmark
Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that the agreement “gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the agreement “strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area” while “at the same time recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination.”
Since returning to office, Trump has repeatedly voiced interest in bringing Greenland under U.S. control and has at times suggested he could use military force to do so, prompting sharp condemnation from Greenlandic and European officials.
uncertain
he → claim → officials
