The US–Greenland security deal isn’t really about ice or minerals. Dr. Pippa Malmgren says it’s about the space race. The former White House economic advisor and founder of the Geopolitica Institute explains why missile tracking and satellite ground stations make the Arctic critical, and why Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands are next. She then connects geopolitics to markets, from US debt to China’s Treasury selling to the future of Bitcoin.
