Interview: Pippa Malmgren on Greenland, Space, and Bitcoin

According to Dr. Pippa Malmgren, the US-Greenland security agreement is less about ice or minerals and more about the space race. The former White House economic advisor and founder of the Geopolitica Institute outlines why the Arctic is critical for missile tracking and satellite ground stations, and then points to Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands as the next strategic areas. She goes on to link these geopolitical factors to financial markets, covering US debt, China's sale of Treasuries, and the future of Bitcoin.
