# The United States, Denmark and Greenland have reached an agreement allowing Washington to develop a significant military presence on the island. President Donald Trump says the deal will also prevent US adversaries from establishing military bases or making sensitive investments in Greenland without American approval. Earlier on Friday, Reuters exclusively reported that the US and Denmark were closing in on a deal that would result in an increased US military presence in Greenland, but would stop well short of Trump’s long-held dream of acquiring the island for the United States.
