> includes a rule that no US adversary can maintain a military presence in Greenland or "make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval".
Worth noting that we don't know the agreement says that. We only know that Trump says it does, and he is not exactly reliable.
"Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the deal comes with 'no cost to the United States' and will grant the US the ability to 'to do what is necessary' to 'secure and defend the security of Greenland'.
He said it includes a rule that no US adversary can maintain a military presence in Greenland or 'make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval'."

Does the agreement in fact say that? Dunno.
> the US has unilateral power to build additional military structures with no approval needed from Greenland or Denmark.
> It includes "permanent access, basing and overflights rights,"
> the US can send as many troops as it wants to Greenland.
>the deal would not expire even if Greenland became an independent country in the future.
