President Trump said Friday that the United States, Denmark, and Greenland reached an agreement giving Washington a lasting Arctic security role—framed on Truth Social as “permanent control over security.” A State Department official described permanent access, basing, and overflight rights, plus bars on China or Russia bases, troops, or sensitive investment without U.S. approval, with terms said to continue even if Greenland became independent.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said a formal signing is expected next week at the U.N. General Assembly and cast the deal as strengthening Arctic and North Atlantic security while protecting sovereignty. The United States already holds major rights under the 1951 defense treaty; whether new bases get built was still unclear Friday night. Coverage across WaPo, the Guardian, and CNN stressed that the announcement stops short of U.S. annexation or takeover. Full treaty text is not public yet.

Al Jazeera, citing AP and Reuters, reported Friday that Ukraine launched a large drone wave as Russia opened a three-day State Duma election—the first since the full-scale invasion. Moscow’s mayor cited more than 350 drones toward the capital; most were claimed downed at outer defenses, with 64 nearer the city. President Zelenskyy said strikes hit a Yaroslavl oil refinery and a Rostov military airfield. Only pro-war parties are registered for the vote, which is also being organized in occupied Ukrainian territories.

Separately, Reuters reported Kyiv under a Russian missile attack Friday evening. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defenses engaged during an alert lasting about 40 minutes, with no immediate Kyiv casualties reported. In Odesa, the governor said two strikes wounded 10 people and damaged an administrative building and vehicles. A lighter travel oddity: Luxembourg Airport briefly suspended flights Friday after unauthorized drones near the field, then resumed Saturday morning with some catch-up delays expected.
