Denmark's Parliament on Wednesday approved a bill to allow U.S. military bases on Danish soil, a move that comes as President Donald Trump seeks to take control of the kingdom's semi-autonomous territory of Greenland.
Critics say the vote ceded Danish sovereignty to the U.S. The legislation widens a previous military agreement, made in 2023 with the Biden administration, where U.S. troops had broad access to Danish airbases in the Scandinavian country.
The new parameters follow Trump's coveting of the strategic, mineral-rich Arctic island even as the U.S. and Denmark are NATO allies.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, in a response to lawmakers' questions, wrote that Denmark would be able to terminate the agreement if the U.S. tries to annex all or part of Greenland.
Ninety-four lawmakers voted for the bill, with 11 against. The legislation now goes to Danish King Frederik X for his signature.
Greenland’s prime minister previously said U.S. statements about the island have been disrespectful and it “will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone.”
Seven Army bases whose names were changed in 2023 because they honored Confederate leaders are all reverting back to their original names. The Army announced the changes Tuesday just hours after President Donald Trump previewed the decision during a visit to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Fort Bragg, which was changed to Fort Liberty by the Biden administration, was the first to have its original name restored after the Army found another person with the same last name. To restore the original names of the additional seven bases, the Army once again found service members with the same last names to honor.

President Donald Trump is hailing a favorable decision by a federal appeals court over his sweeping tariff policy as a “great” win for the United States. Trump said Wednesday on his social media site the court's decision means the U.S. “can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries.” Trump calls it “A great and important win for the U.S.” The Tuesday court ruling allows the government to continue collecting the sweeping import taxes the Republican president has imposed on other countries while challenges to his signature trade policy continue on appeal. Several lawsuits argue Trump’s tariffs exceed his authority and leave U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims.
