U.S. Military Base in Greenland: New Agreement with Denmark and Greenland
September 22, 2026
The United States plans to re-establish a Cold War-era military base in Greenland, as part of a new agreement with Denmark and Greenland. This agreement is set to be signed in New York and aims to enhance security in the region. The U.S. had withdrawn from most of its military installations in Greenland, retaining only the Thule Air Base. However, pressures for control over Greenland have led to renewed discussions. Most Greenlanders are opposed to the idea of the U.S. regaining a military base.
