Trump's Golden Dome missile shield marks one year with little progress; Greenland is not part of Golden Dome

Story by Mike Stone, Reuters, January 27, 2026

Tom Karako, a weapons security expert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said much of the past year had been consumed by security reviews, staffing decisions and the approval of complex plans. He said the Golden Dome project was unlikely to be fully completed by 2028.

Trump has recently linked U.S. control of the Danish territory to the missile defense initiative, repeatedly saying that acquiring Greenland is “vital” to the project. Defense experts note, however, that existing agreements already allow expanded U.S. military operations on the island. One U.S. official said Greenland is not part of Golden Dome’s proposed architecture.
