Trump eyes Greenland grab for Golden Dome shield [ [link removed] ]
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared Greenland essential [ [link removed] ] to President Trump’s ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense shield, arguing U.S. control of the Arctic island is vital to prevent foreign conquest [ [link removed] ] and avoid dragging America into a hot conflict.

Missile Shield Integration: The “Golden Dome” system requires Greenland as a key component to protect the Western Hemisphere, with Trump inviting Canada to participate if it shares costs.
Preventive Security Move : Bessent stressed U.S. ownership would deter incursions, avoiding scenarios where NATO obligations force America to defend Greenland militarily against aggressors.
Historical U.S. Interest: Trump has long advocated acquiring Greenland for national security, a priority echoed in recent Truth Social posts and tied to modern defense needs like the Golden Dome project.

Gold soared past $4700 an ounce and silver hit $95 [ [link removed] ] on Tuesday as President Trump escalated his push to acquire Greenland, threatening steep tariffs on European nations and fueling fears of currency debasement, geopolitical turmoil, and a roaring rally in precious metals as safe-haven assets.

Silver Supply Crisis Deepens: Structural deficits persist for five years, worsened by China’s export restrictions to prioritize domestic solar panel production and 15 years of mining underinvestment.
Geopolitical Fuel Added: Trump’s renewed Greenland demands and potential 200% tariffs on items like French champagne intensify macro unease, pouring fresh momentum into months-long precious metals rally.

Tariff timeline detailed: Tariffs on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, U.K., Netherlands, and Finland start at 10% on February 1, escalating to 25% by June 1 unless a Greenland deal is reached.

Tech Sector Hit Hardest: The Nasdaq dropped 1.3%, with Nvidia and Tesla each plunging nearly 3%, while major names like Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon all shed over 1%.
Broader Market Declines: The S&P 500 fell 1.1% and the Dow 0.9% in a risk-off move, as investors reacted to potential wider U.S.-EU trade escalation.
