During closed-door talks, Trump sought almost complete control over Greenland
According to The New York Times, confidential negotiations between the U.S., the governments of Denmark, and Greenland have been ongoing for four months. The issue gained momentum after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte convinced U.S. President Donald Trump in late January to abandon threats to take control of the island by force.
Greenland’s leadership believes that Washington’s proposals seriously undermine its sovereignty and could subject its residents to prolonged U.S. influence. Greenland also fears that following the conflict with Iran, Trump will adopt a tougher policy toward them.
The NYT has learned that the U.S. seeks to amend the current military agreement so that American troops can remain on the island indefinitely, even if Greenland gains independence. The Pentagon is already planning to expand its presence and recently sent an officer to a city in the south of the island to inspect a World War II-era airport, a harbor, and potential locations for troop bases.
