When we see this framework not expecting an acquisition of some kind, potentially greater involvement of the United States in the security of Greenland.

So that treaty already allows the United States in cooperation and collaboration with Denmark to

to have military bases on the island.

I mean, the U.S.

does have one there already, but it could have more.

And throughout this entire saga, Denmark has been pointing back to that treaty to say that the United States could have more bases and that it was interested in having that conversation with the president.

And indeed, that's when he was responding and saying, no, the U.S.

It's not

So the Golden Dome is a missile defense structure that would be very similar to what Israel has, that it's basically an anti-missile defense structure that would shoot down missiles over the United States, as well as, as President Trump is saying, as Canada.

And one thing that he has said is that this Golden Dome structure would also extend over Greenland as well.

It's not entirely clear when he would expect that to be done,

or whether areas it would cover, but that was something that he referred to in his speech as well.

But the White House is hoping to have the Golden Dome done before the end of President Donald Trump's term.

And then he said afterwards, the president did on his true social post, that after talking with him, that a framework had been reached, an agreement had been breached here.

And that was very notable because sources I'd spoken to beforehand thought really the only Rutte could possibly
