President Trump will meet later Tuesday with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark to formally sign a deal that will bolster America’s military presence on the world’s largest island, ending a standoff that had hindered US-European relations.
A formal text of the agreement, announced by Trump Friday evening and confirmed by Copenhagen soon after, was not publicly available Tuesday morning. However, three people familiar with negotiations told Reuters the deal will give the US full control over two additional military sites.
In addition to the existing Pituffik Space Base, the US will also have access to Narsarsuaq, a former World War II and Cold War-era airbase surrounded by a settlement whose population has dwindled to just a few dozen; and Mestersvig, currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, an elite Danish special forces unit.
