I think I would have given Pence the same reply.

Pence saying that to Trump would be about like Brutus saying the same thing to Caesar after he plunged the knife in his back.

That betrayal ultimately worked to Trump's advantage in many ways. He regained office after having the Washington DC blinders removed, and Pence showed the world what he is.

.

Ah yes, selective memory, by revealing this conversation, Pence comes out looking like the asshole, go figure.

Trump Announces US Will Have Permanent Control Over Greenland’s Security

The president wrote that he had entered into an agreement with Denmark and Greenland.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday announced that the United States entered into a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland to control security for the world’s largest island.

The agreement would give the United States “permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland,” he wrote on Truth Social, a move the president described as one that would address the United States’ concerns.
“At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America,” the president’s post read.

“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.”

This is a breaking story that will be updated with additional details.

The deal bars Russia, China and non-NATO countries from establishing military bases on the island, Fox News Digital learned

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump struck a sweeping agreement with Denmark and Greenland this week granting the United States permanent military rights on the strategically placed Arctic island.

The U.S. will now have permanent access, basing and overflight rights in Greenland and the ability to establish additional military installations as needed, according to a senior U.S. official who outlined the deal exclusively to Fox News Digital.

The deal bars China, Russia and other non-NATO countries from establishing military bases or maintaining troops in Greenland. It also restricts adversaries from investing in sensitive sectors that could pose a threat to U.S. national security.

"This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people," Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital. "Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the U.S. taxpayer.

"Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area," Rubio said. "This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland.

The new agreement, which has no expiration date, stops short of transferring sovereignty over Greenland to the U.S. But administration officials still view its permanence as key to addressing the security concerns that drove Trump's push to acquire the territory in the first place.

"The difference here is we're not spending any money for the right" to expand the U.S. military presence, the senior official explained.

The deal is designed to remain in effect even if Greenland eventually becomes an independent country, they added.

"For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an "Infinite Life" Agreement, there is no end!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday.

Fox News Digital reached out to the governments of Greenland and Denmark for comment.

Trump had repeatedly argued that control of Greenland was necessary for U.S. national security, pointing to the island's strategic location in the Arctic as Russia and China expand their presence and capabilities in the region.

The deal significantly expands on the longstanding U.S. defense relationship with Greenland. The U.S. already operates Pituffik Space Base and has maintained military access to the island under a defense agreement dating back to 1951.

Under the new agreement, however, Denmark and Greenland would not have approval authority over additional U.S. military installations. The U.S. would consult with them but would have the right to build new installations when it determines they are necessary without needing their buy-in, the official said.

The administration believes an expanded U.S. military footprint in Greenland could eventually play a role in Trump's planned Golden Dome missile defense system.

"We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction," Trump added.

The deal only allows the U.S. and its allies to make "sensitive investments" on the island, such as telecommunications infrastructure, undersea cables, ports and critical minerals.

The administration is seeking to prevent Greenland from becoming another version of what it sees as the strategic vulnerability that developed around the Panama Canal, where Chinese commercial interests have fueled U.S. concerns that ostensibly civilian infrastructure could have national security implications.

"We're never going to face that in Greenland as a result of this," the official told Fox News Digital.

Officials from both Greenland and Denmark, which holds sovereignty over the self-governing island territory, initially scoffed at Trump’s insistence that the U.S. must "own" Greenland.

But months of negotiations between Rubio, White House advisor Stephen Miller and officials at the State Department and National Security Council led to a deal that satisfied all sides, a second official told Fox News Digital.

Representatives from all three countries went through "various rounds of quiet negotiations that never leaked and never got out there" starting in February, as Denmark and Greenland came to see the agreement as serving their own security interests.

"They recognize, at the end of the day, that they have a national security concern here as well," Rubio said. "Denmark and Greenland understand that they don't have the financial means necessary to defend Greenland if it were to come under attack or be threatened. The United States has the power to do that."

Exactly what does that mean ? Sounds like annexation without the formality.

I saw this go across the Book of Faces and figured it was more fake BS. Checked the news and then I was like…

The Epoch Times refers to Greenland as "the world’s largest island."

I guess the writer of that article never heard of Australia.

Australia is considered a continent, not an island. It has it's own tectonic plate, that might be the difference.

Plate privilege... Australia is about 3 times the size of Greenland, too.

Could be. Allowing the Danes to save face?

I think it would be hilarious for the president to call it Green America just to watch Leftist sourpuss heads pop…..

We don’t need to gloat. That’s bad optics and turns people off. We got what we needed. Move on to the next project.

I support Trump but I’m tired of the bombast

Meanwhile, ARNG units in southern states scramble to locate their ECWCS stuff before next Annual Training.

Trump TV is starting tonight @7
