The arrangement-compared to britain&#8217;s sovereign bases in Cyprus-could allow U.S. troops and installations, support a proposed Golden Dome missile-defense system, and perhaps permit local development such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-china-getting-away-with-murder\/\" title=\"...: China &#039;Getting Away With Murder&#039;\">rare-earth mining<\/a>.Trump has described the agreement as providing &#8220;total access&#8221; at no cost and expressed hope it might very well be implemented quickly, even by 2026. Denmark&#8217;s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said Denmark will not cede sovereignty and has been informed that sovereignty is not being given away. Reuters previously noted the deal might resemble a Compact of Free Association, under which the U.S. offers services in exchange for broad military rights, and reported that senior NATO commanders will work through the details.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A new report said that a deal President Donald Trump has negotiated will give the United States total control of key parts of Greenland while allowing Denmark to retain ownership of the island.<\/p>\n<p>The report in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/us\/news\/2026\/01\/21\/revealed-trumps-greenland-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Telegraph<\/a> said the portions of Greenland that America wants to control will be designated as sovereign base areas, making them de facto U.S. territory where troops could be positioned.<\/p>\n<p>The report said Britain has a similar arrangement on the island of Cyprus, which allows it to do as it pleases in the military and intelligence spheres while local residents retain their national identity.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that &ldquo;some local development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/america-will-have-sovereign-control-over-areas-of-greenland-in-deal-reached-by-trump-report\/\" title=\"America Will Have &#039;Sovereign&#039; ...
