Consideration of Potential U.S. Military Bases in Greenland Referencing Bases in Cyprus
January 23, 2026
President Trump is considering a potential deal with NATO for Greenland that may include American military bases. These proposals are being compared to British bases in Cyprus, which operate under British sovereignty. The idea has raised concerns, as Greenland's Prime Minister emphasized that sovereignty is a red line. The British bases in Cyprus, despite their military significance, do not belong to the Republic of Cyprus. Experts believe that such an arrangement could offer the U.S. significant advantages in the region.
