Commentary circulates arguing the announced terms mostly restate rights the US already held under the 1951 defense treaty rather than representing a substantive new concession.
“Trump did an incredible job negotiating for things we already had in Greenland”

JUST NOW: Greenland's Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen has just announced that he is traveling to New York to sign a security agreement with the United States and Denmark that grants the US permanent control over Greenland’s defense while preserving Danish sovereignty.

Whatever this "deal" is with Trump over # Greenland , it will come apart eventually. History is full of examples of Trump's "deals" that are not fair, nor does he keep to them. He follows mob boss logic and this is a # TrumpShakedown . And when a legit business pays the mob boss, they only go away for a little while. But they always come back for…

It is. Do you say that of any laws you're supposed to follow? Try refuse paying taxes. Then try to refuse paying your fine. Then try to refuse cooperating with the cops that show up. Gun to your head. No, it isn't. People did not generally (as in most people) steal for millennia. It goes the opposite way, most laws are made because something is…

If Trump is correct in claiming the US has "permanent" security control in Greenland, then Denmark knelt/kowtowed to Trump and kissed his behind. A sad day for Denmark and Greenland. @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com @npr.org @theguardian.com

>ahh God have mercy. In any case, why is the whole burden falling solely on Denmark? What about European solidarity? I thought all EU countries supported Denmark. Remember when Germany sent some military personnel to Greenland for the weekend? Where has all that gone? Why does it now turn out that this is solely Denmark's problem, while Macron…

Remind me about the countries where the US can just build places wherever the please? But it was cute how you tried to change the topic. ;) And yes they US needs to ask permission for a lot because otherwise nothing would get in or out of those bases... That's also why for example they couldn't use ports and airports in Spain to support the war in…

COPENHAGEN, Sept 19 (Reuters) - # Denmark and # Greenland on Saturday said any agreement with the United States would not compromise Greenland's sovereignty, after President Donald # Trump said the deal would give Washington "permanent control" over the Arctic island's security, leaving its precise scope unclear. https://www…

Yeah well guess what, the rest of the world's media is making fun of Denmark for caving to Trump when it was completely unnecessary. The fact that the 'positive' news is trying to downplay its significance, shows the damage control. Denmark surrendered to Nazi Germany in a couple hours, I suppose I should be grateful this time they held out for a…

Danish commentators on Saturday cast a deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump to give Washington control over Greenland's security as a diplomatic win for Copenhagen. https://www. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/ 20/world/politics/denmark-trump-greenland-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon # worldnews # politics # denmark # us #…

nothing has changed from the 2004 iteration In Trump times that is a success. Look at Hormuz. Relationship with pretty much anyone in the world. The state of the US military. "Back to the state before Trump got involved" is an improvement in virtually every case.

Die USA, Dänemark und Grönland unterschreiben einen neuen, diplomatischen Vertrag und damit sollte jetzt Ruhe einkehren. Trump wurde davon abgebracht, Grönland zu annexieren. Es ist absurd, aber ein wichtiger, geopolitischer Fortschritt in diesen Zeiten. https:// economist.com/international/20…

I agree, so would add to my comment that whatever deal is made it doesn’t matter because as long as Trump and his sycophants are running the US they will do what they want. Was just referring to what the agreement that Trump won’t respect says 😂

The alternative is the idiot invading an allied NATO nation. Be mad at the cowardy Danes all you want. This is a better solution to give Trump..... What USA already has.

Dear Denmark: you made a mistake. The Conversation: Trump declares victory in Greenland, but the deal exposes a deeper crisis of trust https:// theconversation.com/trump-decl ares-victory-in-greenland-but-the-deal-exposes-a-deeper-crisis-of-trust-292440 @ TheConversationUS # Greenland

Anything to distract from Hormuz which is supposed to distract from Epstein. Sudden onset of Trump sanity caused by primaries? That's my diagnosis.

I guess that small incident was "being pragmatic". Congratulations, and I'm glad it worked well for you, but other nations have a spine.

Trump claims I am not buying into those. Too many Iran peace deals have been reached already.

No, the new treaty is significantly more in favor of the US. Go check the details.

The US not violating their sovereign territory to do it anyway would be my guess
