Trump claims Denmark gave Greenland to US, mischaracterizes defense pact

At a Georgia rally, President Trump asserted Denmark 'gave us Greenland,' referencing a September security agreement between Greenland, the US, and Denmark that builds on the 1951 defense pact. The claim mischaracterizes the agreement, which is a defense cooperation arrangement, not a transfer of sovereignty. This rhetoric signals continued US interest in Greenland's strategic value, but no actual change in territorial status has occurred.
