The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that gives them exclusive and full military access to Greenland. But they are not using it. They have downgraded their presence by 99%.
Now, apparently, they are telling their base that they need to invade and annex Greenland because they need to have a large military presence.
There’s been a lot of talk about 🇩🇰🇬🇱 lately.
So let’s clarify a few things:
👉 Denmark takes Arctic security very seriously. In 2025 alone, 🇩🇰 has committed $13.7 bn to strengthen Arctic capabilities & operations.
👉Greenland's status as a part of the Kingdom of 🇩🇰 is not in doubt, but internationally recognized. This includes by 🇺🇸 on numerous occasions.
👉The US has had the option to establish additional military bases and increase its military presence in 🇬🇱 since 1951 & that option remains open today.
These are not opinions. They are facts, grounded in 225 years of our enduring partnership, shared history & agreements between 🇬🇱🇩🇰 & 🇺🇸
It‘s been an honour to join minister @NickTorfaen visiting the UK-DK VikingLink interconnector today. A great example that working together is good for consumers and the green transition! 🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺
Less static – more power⚡️
This is Viking Link in Lincolnshire, connecting the UK and Denmark’s energy. Pretty impressive infrastructure & it will benefit from our UK-EU deal.
It’ll be easier to sell British homegrown energy and import EU energy ➡️ lower bills, more security.
📣A Historic Day! 📣
