Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that negotiations are underway to expand the United States military presence to three new bases. The talks follow renewed interest from Donald Trump in acquiring the Arctic territory.
Nielsen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday afternoon that security and surveillance are central to the discussions. The U.S. currently operates only the Pituffik Space Base, down from 17 facilities active in 1945.
