The United States has struck a deal with Greenland granting it "permanent control over security" on the Danish island territory, according to a CNBC report. As part of the arrangement, the U.S. will reportedly send forces to a Danish dog-sled outpost and reopen a Cold War-era military base.

Trump said the agreement with Greenland and Denmark would formalize the expanded American security role on the island.

The deal marks a significant shift in the U.S. military posture in the Arctic region, with the reopened base and new troop presence signaling a long-term American commitment to the territory's security arrangements.
