President Donald Trump on Friday announced a deal had been struck with Denmark over its oversight of Greenland. Trump has long coveted the mineral-rich island which has been part of the kingdom of Denmark since the 1700s. On social media, Trump wrote that the deal “gives the United States permanent control over security and all other needs in Greenland, completely addressing all of our many U.S. concerns. There will be no cost to the United States.” Nick Schifrin reports. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
