Trump Says US Will Build 'Large Military Presence' in Greenland Under New Deal
The arrangement involves Denmark, which along with the EU has previously pushed back on Trump's interest in the island.
President Donald Trump said the United States will establish a large military presence in Greenland as part of a security deal involving Greenland and Denmark, according to CNBC.
The announcement follows months of tension over Trump's stated interest in acquiring Greenland, which the territory has repeatedly said is not for sale, CNBC reports.
The European Union united earlier this year to rebuke Trump over his push to acquire the island, according to the outlet.
Further details of the security arrangement, including its scope and timeline, were not specified in the report.
