Off to negotiations on Greenland, the issue of sovereignty remains

Trump announced that he had reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland, which gives the United States “permanent control over security and all other requirements” on the island.

The tycoon then said that he would “immediately begin the process of developing a significant military presence in an area appropriate”https://gazzettadelsud.it/articoli/mondo/2026/09/19/trump-accordo-con-danimarca-e-groenlandia-per-il-controllo-usa-della-sicurezza-sullisola-9c029d44-d317-4d50-8872-701b132e11c4/.”We will collaborate with the Greenlandic population to its realization and construction”.

“Greenland, Denmark and the United States plan to sign an agreement over the next week aimed at strengthening security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic region. The signing of the agreement by the three governments is scheduled for next week, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Once signed, the agreement will have to follow the necessary parliamentary procedures to enter into force.” This is what we read in a press release from the Danish government.

“I am pleased to announce that the United States has entered into an agreement with Denmark and Greenland, which gives the United States permanent control over the security and every other requirement in Greenland that fully addresses all of our many concerns,” Trump wrote in Truth. “There will be no cost to the United States! At my direction, we have worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to ensure that the United States will forever have full authority to act in Greenland as necessary to protect and defend the security of Greenland and the United States,” he added.

According to the agreement reached between the United States, Denmark and Greenland “from now on, no adversary of the United States will ever establish a base or military presence on the island or make significant investments in the area, without our express written approval of the United States”, wrote Donald Trump on Truth announcing the agreement. “This is a dream come true for America,” he added.

Frederiksen: agreement on Greenland is good for NATO, it recognizes our sovereignty

“I am pleased that a positive agreement is emerging for Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States. An agreement that strengthens our shared security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic region, thus also benefitting NATO and Europe. An agreement that, at the same time, recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom, as well as the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination.” This was stated in a note by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen after Donald Trump announced an agreement with Denmark and Greenland, which gives the US “permanent control over the security” of the island.

US President Donald Trump signed a law authorizing new sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia over its war in Ukraine, shortly after the measure won congressional approval this week.

The legislation targets Russia’s energy and defense sectors, as well as targeting President Vladimir Putin and other top officials. It also gives Trump the power to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, a measure that could also affect China and India.

Zelensky: ‘Grateful to Trump for the new sanctions on Russia, now implement them quickly’

“When Lindsey Graham was here in Ukraine, he always stressed how important it was not to ease the pressure on Russia, to tighten sanctions and to seek a path to peace. In particular, towards those capitals that choose to buy Russian oil, provide financial services to Russia and allow Russian companies linked to Putin and the war to have normal trade relations in other countries. Senator Graham never doubted, not for an instant, that America has the strength necessary to stand up to dictators and get results, doing the right thing. I thank President Trump for signing this critically important law,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on X.

“I thank all the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives who supported it. The best way to honor Lindsey’s memory will be to fully and quickly implement the provisions of this law. And the best reward for all who help us to pressure Russia to end the war will be peace. Peace, and an end to all the problems and challenges that this war has brought with it. Peace is born of strength. Serenity is born of security. And the best guarantee of security is determination. I thank all those who defend life with determination! I thank all those who stand by Ukraine America, thank you!”, he concluded.
