President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States has reached an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that gives the United States 'permanent control' over Greenland’s security and bars any US adversary from having a military presence on the island.

“The United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling the arrangement an 'Infinite Life' Agreement.

“Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval,” Trump said.

He added that the US would 'immediately begin' building its own 'large military presence' and work with the people in Greenland on 'its development and construction.'

CNN has reached out to the State Department and Danish embassy for comment.

Earlier this year, Trump repeatedly insisted on the importance of the United States obtaining Greenland for national security purposes, but discussion on the matter had largely faded from public view in recent months.
