President Donald Trump announced Friday afternoon that the United States will receive permanent security rights in Greenland, a development he presented as another major achievement for his administration and the American public.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote:
“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. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. 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.”
Trump has emphasized Greenland’s strategic importance to Arctic security since his first term. The issue remained a priority after he returned to the White House in 2025.
He also said the United States would “immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many.”
In January 2026, Trump said negotiations over a long-term Greenland agreement were underway, a claim that drew skepticism from much of the corporate media at the time.

Further talks gained momentum after Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos, ultimately leading to Friday’s announcement.
“We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies,” Trump wrote. “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!”
The governments of Denmark and Greenland confirmed the deal, with a formal agreement expected to be signed next week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
From passing what Trump has described as the largest tax cut in history for American families to removing Venezuela’s fraudulent dictator, the announcement adds to the argument that underestimating President Trump has repeatedly proven unwise.
