Golden Dome Shield Not Hinged on Seizing Greenland
TL;DR Summary
Trump has tied his Golden Dome missile-defense plan to Greenland, but defense experts say Greenland already houses crucial US defense assets under a 1951 agreement, Washington could work with Denmark to add interceptors there, other US locations (e.g., Fort Drum or New York) could host systems, and much of the shield is envisioned as space-based—reducing the need to seize territory.
