What did Donald Trump claim about foreign policy on 24 Oct 2026?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
Denmark was so great. They gave us Greenland.
Denmark did not give Greenland to the United States. The September 2026 defense agreement reaffirms Danish sovereignty over Greenland.
The defense agreement signed by the United States, Denmark and Greenland in September 2026 opens by 'Reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark' and recognizes the People of Greenland's right to self-determination (agreement text published by the White House). It amends the 1951 defense agreement on U.S. military access; it transfers no territory.
