Trump Says US Reaches Deal With Denmark for Permanent Control of Greenland Security

This reframes Arctic security as a bilateral US-Danish arrangement with an explicit veto over third-country basing, deployments and sensitive investment — a gatekeeping mechanism that reaches into the island's resource and infrastructure economy, not just its defence posture. The immediate read-across is for investors tracking Greenland's critical-minerals and infrastructure pipeline, where any non-US capital now sits behind a written-approval test. The open questions are the legal form of the arrangement, how Denmark and Greenland's own authorities characterise it, and whether the veto is enforced in practice.
