President Donald Trump announced a deal with Denmark and Greenland that he said grants the United States permanent control over the island's security and bars adversaries from establishing military bases. The "Infinite Life" agreement prevents Russia and China from maintaining a military presence or making sensitive investments without written American approval. US forces will expand on the territory, a move Trump stated incurs no cost to the US.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Prime Minister described the pact as a security agreement that respects Danish sovereignty and Greenland's right to self-determination. Parliamentary approval in both Denmark and Greenland is required before the agreement takes effect, and the parties sign the document next week during the UN General Assembly. A State Department official confirmed the deal prohibits non-NATO bases in Greenland and restricts adversarial investments.
