TRUMP'S SWEEPING DEAL BEWEEN USA AND DENMARK OVER GREENLAND (For Years, My Danish Articles on Trump's Viewpoint and Strategy Were Rejected by Editors All Over Denmark)

Breaking report about an agreement with Denmark over Greenland from Berlingske Tidende and Fox News (which calls it, tongue in cheek, a "Green new deal").

President Donald Trump struck a sweeping agreement with Denmark and Greenland this week granting the United States permanent military rights on the strategically placed Arctic island.

The U.S. will now have permanent access, basing and overflight rights in Greenland, and the ability to establish additional military installations as needed, according to a senior U.S. official who outlined the deal exclusively to Fox News Digital.

The deal bars China, Russia and other non-NATO countries from establishing military bases or maintaining troops in Greenland. It also restricts adversaries from investing in sensitive sectors that could pose a threat to U.S. national security.

In previous news concerning Greenland, Berlingske Tidende reports that China Is Establishing a Permanenet Shipping Route Through the Arctic — an Ice Silk Road which, needless to say and although it is (bizarrely) in the paper's business section, really concerns Beijing's military might. And even nine months ago, the daily reproduced Daniel Michaels and Sune Engel Rasmussen's Wall Street Journal piece warning that China's Arctic Push Opens Alarming Shortcut to U.S. 
 
Leading Ed Driscoll to quote Buzz Patterson making the following quip: 
You want to know why @realDonaldTrump is focused on Greenland? He’s always one step ahead. 
Previously, the Danish newspaper reported that 
The United States is quietly negotiating with Denmark to gain access to three additional defense areas in Greenland – in addition to Pituffik Space Base, the former Thule Air Base in northern Greenland. 

This was stated by General Gregory Guillot, commander of the United States Northern Command – which includes the American military installations and forces in North America and the Arctic, including Greenland – during a Senate hearing in Washington 
Readers of No Pasarán will recall how this blog broke the story about the exact reasons that President Trump started expressing his desires about Greenland in the first place.

As a fluent Danish speaker, I have been trying to present these (undeniable) facts to the Danish public for years. With no success whatsoever.

It will not surprise our readers that not a single member of the leftist MSM answered showed the slightest interest. Mostly, I got no answers, and the few answers I got were not far from polite. Even right-leaning blogs (in spite of the fact that most lean pro-American) would not touch the article.
  
The (very long) article I wrote is on the Danish Yank blog, and What Nobody Tells You About Trump, Greenland, and Denmark is obviously in a language few people outside Scandinavia can understand — although this can obviously be changed by copying/pasting on apps like Google Translate.

USA er med stilfærdige forhandlinger med Danmark godt i gang med at få adgang til yderligere tre forsvarsområder i Grønland – ud over Pituffik Space Base, den tidligere Thule Air Base i Nordgrønland.

Det fortalte general Gregory Guillot, øverstkommanderende for United States Northern Command – der omfatter de amerikanske militære installationer og styrker i Nordamerika og Arktis, herunder Grønland – under en senatshøring i Washington torsdag den 19. marts.

Berlingske Tidende today:

Trump annoncerer aftale mellem USA, Danmark og Grønland

Den amerikanske præsident, Donald Trump, annoncerer i et opslag på Truth Social, at USA, Danmark og Grønland har indgået en aftale.

Aftalen forlyder, at USA får permanent kontrol over sikkerheden og »alle andre behov« i Grønland, skriver præsidenten:

»et vil IKKE medføre nogen omkostninger for USA! På min foranledning har vi samarbejdet med repræsentanter for Danmark og Grønland for at sikre, at USA FOR EVIGT vil have fuldstændig beføjelse til at gøre det, der er nødvendigt i Grønland for at sikre og forsvare sikkerheden i både Grønland og USA.«

Donald Trump skriver videre, at »ingen af USAs modstandere« fremover nogensinde vil have en base, militær tilstedeværelse eller foretage følsomme investeringer i Grønland uden USAs skriftlige godkendelse:

»I over 100 år har præsidenterne været klar over Grønlands strategiske betydning, men INGEN af dem var i stand til at gøre noget ved det,« lyder det fra Trump …
