did denmark just pull a fast grift on the orange man;
he X post sarcastically alleges that Denmark and Greenland tricked the Trump administration by updating the 1951 US-Denmark Defense of Greenland Agreement with a 2026 date and clauses barring China and Russia from bases or sensitive investments, then presenting it as a new security pact.The 1951 agreement already permits extensive US military facilities, personnel, and access in Greenland while preserving Danish sovereignty; it enabled Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base) and remains in effect indefinitely under NATO frameworks.Recent 2026 announcements show Trump hailing the deal as granting the US “permanent control” over Greenland security to block adversaries, while Denmark and Greenland stress no sovereignty transfer and ratification requirements ahead of a planned UN signing.
