President Donald Trump on Friday announced an agreement with Greenland and Denmark that gives the U.S. what he described as “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in the Danish island territory.

“We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Greenland already has a U.S. military presence under a decades-old defense agreement with Denmark.

The deal as described in Trump’s post appears to stop far short of his prior insistence that Greenland must be made a part of the United States.

Greenland has maintained it is not for sale, and the European Union earlier this year united to rebuke Trump over his push to acquire the island.

But Trump signaled Friday that he was satisfied by the new deal, claiming that it addresses “ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”

“There will be NO COST to the United States,” he wrote.

The official text of any deal was not immediately available. Greenland and Denmark did not immediately confirm that a deal had been struck.
