Greenland's authorities confirmed Tuesday that an expanded U.S. military presence on the Arctic island is part of ongoing talks with U.S. and Danish officials, marking a new phase in President Donald Trump's push to increase Washington's leverage over the strategically vital territory.
Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said negotiations involving Greenland, Denmark and the United States are underway, but no agreement has been reached. Reuters reported that the discussions include possible increases to the U.S. military footprint in Greenland, where Washington already operates Pituffik Space Base in the island's far north.
