Greenland Green Light

After months of icy negotiations, the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland have reportedly come to an a-green-ment.

On Friday, President Trump announced the trio had reached a deal that gives Uncle Sam “permanent control” over Greenland’s “security and all other needs.” Denmark confirmed the agreement Saturday, clarifying that the semiautonomous Danish territory would keep its sovereignty.

Trump, who previously suggested the U.S. would buy Greenland or take it “by force,” said the pact allows Washington to bump up its military presence on Fezzik’s stomping grounds and block any U.S. “adversary” from building a military base on it.

The deal will be detailed and signed later this week at the U.N. General Assembly. Secretary of State Rubio said it “completely addresses… national security concerns in Greenland,” and Denmark said it hopes the agreement “strengthens security” for NATO and European countries.
