US, Denmark, and Greenland to sign agreement expanding US military presence in Greenland
The US plans to reopen a former Cold War-era base at Narsarsuaq and establish a presence at Mestersvig, currently used by Denmark's Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, under a trilateral agreement to be signed at the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2026. Denmark says the deal places Arctic security under NATO's watch rather than solely under the US and Denmark. The agreement follows months of pressure from President Trump, who has expressed interest in US control of Greenland.
