Trump's Greenland Gambit: A Deal That's More Than Meets the Eye The news of President Donald Trump signing a security deal with Denmark and Greenland at the United Nations has sparked a mix of reactions, from relief to skepticism.
On the surface, it appears to be a diplomatic coup for the administration, securing U. S. interests in the Arctic without sparking a full blown crisis. One striking aspect of this agreement is its permanence.
The deal explicitly guarantees U. S. security interests in Greenland for as long as it exists, even if the island nation breaks away from Denmark.
