Fact-check: “The US will open 2 new military bases in Greenland”
Verdict: Mostly True (85% confidence)
A trilateral agreement signed September 22, 2026, by the US, Denmark, and Greenland formally authorizes two new US Defense Areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, and Trump stated the US would begin building two military bases. The bases are not yet open or under construction — the agreement requires completion of Danish parliamentary procedures before entering into force, and site-level technical details remain to be negotiated.
