“We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Greenland has maintained it is not for sale, and the European Union earlier this year united to rebuke Trump over his push to acquire the island.

Trump claimed Friday that the agreement addresses “ALL of our many U.S. concerns,” adding that “There will be NO COST to the United States.”
