A Few Words From the Internet:

For over 300 years, Greenland has been a territory of Denmark. Today, Greenland is an independent, autonomous territory inside the Kingdom of Denmark.

The U.S. still has a Defense Agreement with Denmark that allows American troops to use military bases there. However, the land is governed entirely by the people of Greenland and Denmark.
