The Danish have caved and will allow US bases in their territory.
When US President Donald J. Trump expressed his desire to gain control of the island of Greenland, it took most by surprise, and generated a panic in the kingdom of Denmark.
While the former colony and present semi-autonomous territory has belonged to the Danish for centuries, the geopolitical situation may cause a historical shift.
Greenland is located between North America and Europe, making it vital for monitoring Russian military activities, particularly ballistic missile threats and naval movements through the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap.
The U.S. already operates Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland for missile defense and space surveillance under a 1951 defense agreement with Denmark.
It provides access to the Arctic Ocean and emerging shipping routes, made accessible by melting ice, with a vital role in tracking Russian and Chinese naval activities.
“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.” — Donald Trump, statement on Truth Social, December 2024.
And it’s in this context of a Trump pressure to take control of Greenland that Denmark’s Parliament yesterday approved a bill to allow U.S. military bases on Danish soil.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Starting to give up the fight.
Good!
All this winning is absolutely exhausting.
In exchange Trump should drop the tariffs on those blue tin butter cookies.
US took Greenland in WWII.
After the war we assigned Denmark to administer it.
Now it is time for us to do it.
Denmark to Trump: “Things that are green seem to have a calming effect on us. Losing Greenland might cause us stress.”
Trump: “How much green are we talking about here?”
LOL!
“In exchange Trump should drop the tariffs on those blue tin butter cookies.”
Funniest response I’ve read on FR in a long time. You win ... a tin of cookies. Thanks for the laugh. KL
Trump needs to do what he was elected for NOT making Greenland a American colony.
I thought we already had a presence in Greenland. Do they mean Denmark proper?
Greenland is sitting on a pile of rare earth minerals and China is positioning to mine them in order to maintain their monopoly. This is a geo-strategic move.
Greenland is ice and Iceland is green, most of the time.
These bases in Greenland are important.
whoops....take out the word neither in my previous post.
Very.
We need Greenland. If we can conquer it without firing a shot I’m all the way with Trump.
And havarti cheese
Fun fact: Denmark also celebrates the Fourth of July.
But what do you expect? Those Communists always lie about everything.
Anywhere in Denmark? Forget Greenland, annex the Lego factory instead!
