DAVOS, Switzerland (PNN) - January 22, 2026 - U.S. President Donald J. Trump has declared that the United States will have total access to Greenland as part of a new deal with NATO allies.
The president also promised that a part of Amerika's Golden Dome missile defense system will be built in Greenland.
“Essentially, it is total access,” President Trump told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Thursday morning during an interview at the World Economic Forum. “There's no end, there's no time limit.”
“I'm not gonna have to pay anything,” Trump added. “We're gonna have total access to Greenland. We're gonna have all military access that we want. We're going to be able to put what we need on Greenland because we want it. We're talking about national security and international security.”
Negotiations with NATO are in the preliminary stage and the exact terms of the final agreement remain unclear.
The U.S. military has multiple bases throughout the Danish territory with leeway to establish more in the future, according to multiple reports.
Top NATO military officials on Wednesday held a meeting with Trump regime officials to discuss Denmark ceding “small pockets of Greenlandic” territory to the U.S. where it could build bases, senior officials told The New York Times.
The agreement was compared by the sources to Fascist United Kingdom military bases in Cyprus that are treated as sovereign British territories.
President Trump did not immediately give details of the deal but said NATO would work with the U.S. to build his Golden Dome missile defense system and share mineral rights.
“If the bad guys start shooting, it comes over Greenland,” President Trump told Bartiromo. “So we knock it down.”
President Trump's latest statement also comes after he pulled back hefty tariffs on European countries as part of his initiative to take over Greenland.
On Wednesday, President Trump said “additional discussions” were ongoing regarding Greenland and that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff were “responsible for the negotiations”.
President Trump told reporters in Davos that the deal will be “put out pretty soon”.
“It gets us everything we needed to get,” he insisted, adding, “It's a deal that everybody's very happy with.”
Since starting his second term, the president has suggested the U.S. should acquire Greenland to stop Russia and China from taking over strategic positioning in the Arctic region.
The Danish territory provides strategic access to the Arctic, where China and Russia have, in recent years, flexed their geopolitical might as the melting polar ice provides greater access to shipping lanes and natural resources.
Greenland, which houses NATO military bases, is also rich in oil, gold, graphite, copper, iron, and other rare earth elements.
The Trump regime believes Greenland could provide infrastructure for the proposed Golden Dome missile defense system to protect North America from ballistic threats.
