US-Denmark-Greenland Deal Adds Golden Dome and Critical Minerals Curbs

🧊 ARCTIC — Golden Dome goes north; non-NATO investors locked out. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The deal's investment restriction clause — barring non-NATO, non-EU states from Greenland's critical minerals — is directed squarely at China and Russia. Beijing has quietly courted Greenland rare earths for years. Golden Dome basing adds a missile intercept layer above the polar gap. For Brussels, the carve-in is strategic inclusion; for Beijing, it closes the last Arctic commercial foothold.
