US to open two new military bases in Greenland

The agreement would expand the US military presence in Greenland as Washington, Copenhagen and Nuuk seek to strengthen Arctic security amid President Donald Trump’s push for greater US control of the territory.

The US plans to re-establish aCold War-era military base in southern Greenland and set up another on the eastcoast, now used by the Danish dog sled patrol, under a deal to be signed withDenmark and Greenland on Tuesday, according to three people familiar with thematter.
