Trump Administration Proposes Direct Agreement with Greenland, Bypassing Denmark
DEFENSESPACE ECONOMY
The Trump administration is drafting a direct agreement with Greenland, bypassing Denmark, to propose a 'Treaty of Free Association' that would grant Greenland autonomy while the U.S. assumes defense responsibilities. This strategy aims to strengthen local governance in Nuuk and foster separatist sentiments, reflecting the U.S.'s long-standing interest in Greenland since World War II. The proposed treaty would mirror existing arrangements with Pacific nations, allowing for strategic military base usage in exchange for financial assistance.
