US Greenland Talks Ongoing: US Considers Adding More 3 More Bases
By Sierra Clair | April 1, 2026
According to a recent NYT article published yesterday, US negotiations with Denmark over Greenland have become more specific with the Pentagon seeking to reopen former bases at Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq. The talks are still ongoing, and the Greenland question hands in the balance as Trump raises the idea of pulling out of NATO after European allies denied base and airspace usage for US troops operating in Iran. LindellTV recently spoke to the former US Ambassador to Denmark Amb. Carla Sands current Chair of the AFPI Foreign policy program in a timely interview. She was able to use her experience in Denmark to explain the relationship between Denmark and Greenland and why Greenland is a North American issue and not a European one. Sands said, “Denmark is a lovely country and they’ve been allies of ours for, you know, over 200 years. But, as a matter of fact, we recently saw our very special ally, the UK, deny us the use of our own base, the Chagos Islands base, Diego Garcia, and we asked, they said, “No, you can’t use it.” And if our very special friend says no, what is Denmark going to do if there’s coercion from say the Chinese Communist Party? You’re not going to have trade if you don’t let us XYZ. So I think that that that action and the fact that they didn’t help us uh during this Iran activity. I think it does it’s a wakeup call and probably hardens our negotiators uh backs regarding that we have to secure the Americas. Greenland’s part of the Americas. It’s part of North America. It’s not part of Europe.”
She also explained that while Denmark and many in the globalist leftist media claim Greenland is happy with their current status some Greenlanders are open to the idea of working with the US due to better protections from the CCP and Russia that the US can offer. Sands said, “The people, there’s only 57,000 people. They want to go independent. And they’re going to need someone to defend them. And when Denmark goes, well, you can have more bases. You can have more leverage in Greenland. We’re okay. They just want to have control of Greenland. But as a matter of fact, that’s not enough. There’s no way the United States should pay for the security of another country.
If Denmark says we own it and we have sovereignty, then they have to be able to defend it. They cannot defend it. You can’t have sovereignty if you can’t defend your property. They can’t defend it right now, their land. They’ve never been able to defend it.
It is the world’s largest island. It’s so big and the seas are so big. Denmark doesn’t have the money or the personnel to be able to defend it. And you know, they are so perverse that they took explosives up there and they were going to blow up all the old runways that we built that they still use, our military built when we occupied uh Greenland. We were there until the ’90s. From the middle from uh World War II to the ’90s. So to see that Denmark would behave like that, we’re going to blow up your runway so you can’t land. Like what kind of ally is that?
And this is the thing they keep the Greenlanders on a welfare stipend every year. So and they don’t help them develop. In other words, they don’t want to help them get their economic engine going. They just want to kind of keep them up there. Like we own this but we can’t do anything with it. It’s like owning a building or a home and you can’t afford it. So you just kind of you know it deteriorates. Well that’s what’s happening because this is a big place that needs a lot of development for the
people to realize their dream. Well if they did a cooperation with the US there’s resources for development. then they are actually defended because they would have the American umbrella of security and they’re going to be part of the uh golden dome that President Trump is building which is involves Alaska and Greenland.”
Will the latest NATO fractures push the US and Greenlanders towards closer cooperation? After seeing how weak European NATO members are against a now decimated Iran, and their inability to open the straight of Hormuz, Greenlanders just might decide to go independent and join the US security umbrella.
