Case
Trump called a U.S.-Denmark-Greenland security agreement “permanent control” over Greenland’s security. The September 22 text preserves Denmark’s sovereignty and Greenland’s self-determination, sets procedures for U.S. defense areas, and awaits parliamentary steps before entry into force.

Role at the time: U.S. Senator, New Hampshire
Statement summary
Jeanne Shaheen voted yea on H.Con.Res. 89, a vote to direct the removal of U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran.
“On the Concurrent Resolution H.Con.Res. 89: A concurrent resolution directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.”

Role at the time: U.S. senator for New Hampshire and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Statement summary
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the September 22 agreement essentially returns the U.S.-Greenland defense relationship to its prior state, while criticizing President Trump’s prior threats and rhetoric.
“After months of threatening our NATO Ally Denmark and disregarding the will of the Greenlandic people, President Trump has reached a ‘deal’ that essentially returns the U.S.-Greenland defense relationship to where it was before.”
Shaheen directly characterizes the agreement as returning the relationship to its prior state, challenging Trump’s description that it gives the United States permanent control.
Role at the time: U.S. Senator, New Hampshire
