During an interview with Fox Business, Trump highlighted the significance of the deal, stating that the US will have complete military access to Greenland without any financial obligations. The specifics of the arrangement are still under discussion with NATO, and Trump hinted at the inclusion of Greenland’s resources and the Golden Dome missile defense system in the long-term agreement.
