Trump Seeks 'Blank Check' for Military Presence in Greenland

The United States is seeking a comprehensive revision of its defense agreement with Denmark, aiming to remove all restrictions on its military presence in Greenland. According to Bloomberg, Washington wants to eliminate the requirement to consult and inform Denmark and Greenland before making significant military changes. Donald Trump has stated his desire for “full access, without a fee and without a time limit” in Greenland, and that NATO will be involved in the agreement. The US side is seeking wording that would ensure complete freedom of movement, without limitations. The completion of the agreement could improve transatlantic relations, which are at a critical juncture. The Danish side has not commented on the information.
