You've heard right, there is a real post-World War II framework that gives the United States unusual leeway in Greenland, though not outright ownership. In plain English, here's how it works.
After WWII, the U.S. and Denmark signed a series of agreements recognizing that Greenland was vital to North American defense. The most important is the 1951 U.S.–Denmark Defense Agreement. That deal allows the United States to station troops, build bases, operate airfields, and conduct military activities in Greenland for the defense of the Western Hemisphere and NATO. Thule Air Base, now Pituffik Space Base, exists because of this agreement and is central to U.S. missile warning and space surveillance.
The agreement also gives the U.S. broad operational freedom. America can improve, expand, and operate military installations with limited Danish interference, especially when it comes to airspace, radar, and early-warning systems. Denmark retains sovereignty, but in practice, the U.S. has primary responsibility for Greenland's strategic defense. That's why Greenland has long functioned as a de facto extension of North American defense rather than purely a European outpost.
This arrangement grew out of WWII reality. The U.S. occupied Greenland in 1941 to prevent Nazi Germany from taking it after Denmark fell. When the war ended, Denmark accepted that it could not defend Greenland alone, so the postwar agreements formalized America's role instead of ending it.
So while there is no treaty that lets the U.S. simply "take" Greenland, the legal and military groundwork already gives Washington exceptional influence there compared to almost any other foreign territory. That's why modern discussions about Greenland don't start from zero, they build on decades of precedent.
