Trump to meet China’s Xi as Congress mulls bill banning artificial superintelligence – US politics live
Congress has so far done little to rein in the AI industry even as some of its most prominent leaders warn about potentially catastrophic risks Sign up for US Breaking News emails Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. Donald Trump will meet with the Chinese president Xi Jinping later today, ahead of a three-day visit that will undoubtedly see artificial intelligence (AI) high on the agenda. Speaking at the UN general assembly, Donald Trump re-issued his threat to “annihilate” Iran and “drive them into Hell” if the regime didn’t capitulate and make a deal.” He also said he was “working closely with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine” to end the disastrous war, defended his administration’s actions in Latin America – including the midnight raid to arrest former Venezuelan president Nicólas Maduro, defended his drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific, accused Mexico of being effectively controlled by the cartels, and said it was “unacceptable” for the US to share a border with a nation under such conditions, pointed to regime change in Cuba and said he would reject any calls for a “globalist scheme” to control artificial intelligence. Shortly after his UN address, Trump signed a Greenland deal, which Greenland’s prime minister Jens-Frederick Nielsen said “underlines the importance of the Nato alliance.” In tricky, carefully worded paragraphs, she said the agreement “recognises the US defining historical and ongoing contributions to the security and defence of Greenland,” but it also “respects the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as Greenland’s right to self-determination.” Trump told a CNN reporter at the UN general assembly on Tuesday that he was “surprised” the outlet was covering him, saying it ‘shouldn’t be here’ after he banned the network alongside Politico and MS Now from the White House on Friday. At a joint press conference on Tuesday, vice-president JD Vance and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced that the federal government was removing 760,000 enrollees from Affordable Care Act insurance marketplaces.

Trump to meet China’s Xi as Congress mulls bill banning artificial superintelligence – US politics liveTrump, Greenland, Denmark sign deal in bid to end Arctic standoff
United States President Donald Trump and the leaders of Greenland and Denmark signed an agreement on Tuesday that permits a larger US military presence on Greenland and may resolve a standoff over the strategically located and mineral-rich island. The agreement, signed during Trump’s visit to the UN General Assembly in New York, stops short of Trump’s demand that the US adopt Greenland as a US territory to head off the growing Arctic presence of Russia and China. But the deal does permit a greater US military presence on the icy territory, an option that emerged as Greenland leaders argued against a complete US takeover. A text of the deal released after the signing event said the US can establish a “Golden Dome” defence system in Greenland as a shield against ballistic missile threats. The shortest route from Europe to North America runs via the Arctic island, which is the location of the northernmost US military base. In his speech to the assembled world leaders at the UN before the signing ceremony, Trump said the agreement gives the US “permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory”. “No US adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland any more, or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval,” Trump said. Trump signed the agreement along with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen in a trilateral ceremony after Trump gave his UN speech. Frederiksen described the agreement as a deal that can “last forever” and said it underlines the importance of the Nato alliance and respects Greenland’s right to self-determination. A strong Nato Nielsen emphasised the importance of Nato in the Arctic region. “We believe that it is vital to keep Nato strong, also in the Arctic, where the alliance has a key role to play,” he said. Greenland, a former colony and now a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, sits between the Arctic and North America and holds vast energy resources. The US already operates Pituffik Space Base in remote northwestern Greenland. The deal opens two new military sites: Narsarsuaq, a former Cold War airbase whose population has dwindled to just a few dozen, and Mestersvig, currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, a Danish special forces unit. “We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate location. We will be building two very major military bases,” Trump said in his UN speech. Trump’s refusal to rule out military or economic force to acquire Greenland triggered a diplomatic crisis in January within Nato and forced Denmark and the island’s government into months of intensive negotiations. “The reason why we can conclude this agreement, which is beneficial from Greenlandic, American, and European perspectives, as well as on behalf of the Kingdom of Denmark, is that it is a matter of security policy,” Frederiksen said in New York on Monday. The text of the agreement says it amends a 1951 defence treaty that had been the legal basis for the US presence. It adds that Washington may seek further bases in the future, with details decided by mutual agreement. The deal has no end date, grants US aircraft and vessels broad access across Greenland and its territorial waters, and bars non-Nato states from establishing military installations on the island. It also restricts foreign investment, effectively blocking states and investors from countries outside Nato, Nato partners and the European Union from holding control or significant influence in sectors deemed particularly sensitive, including critical infrastructure and resource extraction. The deal, which needs approval by the parliaments of Denmark and Greenland, marks a shift from Trump’s earlier ambitions for an outright acquisition of Greenland, an island three times the size of Texas with a population of only 57,000 scattered along its rugged coastline. But it represents the first major increase in US military infrastructure in Greenland since the Cold War, when the US maintained 17 installations and more than 10,000 personnel there.
Grönland anlaşması imzalandı: ABD’ye ''Altın Kubbe'' izni
ABD, Danimarka ve Grönland liderleri, Washington'un adada askeri varlığını genişletmesine izin veren anlaşmayı imzaladı. ABD Başkanı Donald Trump, Danimarka Başbakanı Mette Frederiksen ve Grönland Başbakanı Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stratejik konumu ve zengin maden kaynakları nedeniyle uzun süredir tartışmaların odağında bulunan Grönland’a ilişkin üçlü anlaşmaya imza attı. Anlaşma, Trump’ın Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu için bulunduğu New York’ta düzenlenen törenle imzalandı. Yeni düzenleme, Trump’ın Grönland’ın ABD toprağı haline getirilmesi yönündeki talebini karşılamıyor ancak Washington’a adadaki askeri varlığını önemli ölçüde genişletme imkanı tanıyor. Anlaşmanın, ABD ile Danimarka ve Grönland arasında yaşanan egemenlik tartışmalarını sona erdirebileceği değerlendiriliyor. Trump, imza töreninden önce BM Genel Kurulu’nda yaptığı konuşmada, anlaşmanın ABD’ye Grönland’daki “güvenlik ve diğer ihtiyaçlar üzerinde kalıcı kontrol” sağladığını söyledi. Trump, “Bundan sonra hiçbir ABD hasmının Grönland’da askeri varlık oluşturmasına veya açık yazılı onayımız olmadan hassas yatırımlar yapmasına izin verilmeyecek.” dedi. 'GOLDEN DOME' GRÖNLAND’A KURULABİLECEK Anlaşma, ABD’nin Grönland’da “Golden Dome” (Altın Kubbe) adı verilen savunma sistemini kurabilmesine imkan tanıyor. Washington, bu sistemle özellikle Rusya ve Çin’in Kuzey Kutbu bölgesindeki artan askeri faaliyetlerine karşı ABD topraklarının savunmasını güçlendirmeyi hedefliyor. Metne göre NATO üyesi olmayan hiçbir devlet, Grönland’da kendisine ait insanlı veya insansız askeri tesis kuramayacak. Bununla birlikte ABD’ye tanınan erişim ve kullanım haklarının, Grönland toplumuna ve Grönland halkının yaşam biçimine saygı gösterecek şekilde kullanılması şartı getirildi. BAĞIMSIZLIK HALİNDE NATO ŞARTI Anlaşmada Grönland’ın gelecekte bağımsızlığını ilan etme ihtimaline ilişkin hükümler de yer aldı. Grönland’ın Danimarka’dan ayrılması halinde, Danimarka ve Grönland yönetimleri yeni kurulan bağımsız devletin NATO’da kalmasını sağlamakla yükümlü olacak. Bağımsız Grönland’ın NATO üyeliği için başvurması ve ABD ile yapılan savunma anlaşmasına bağlılığını sürdürmesi gerekecek. Danimarka Başbakanı Frederiksen, anlaşmanın ‘sonsuza kadar sürebilecek’ nitelikte olduğunu belirterek düzenlemenin NATO ittifakının önemini ortaya koyduğunu ve Grönland’ın kendi geleceğini belirleme hakkına saygı gösterdiğini söyledi.
Grönland’da taraflar memnun
İrfan Kurtulmuş - ABD Başkanı Donald Trump, önceki gün yaptığı açıklamada, ABD’nin Grönland’da “kalıcı güvenlik kontrolü” için Danimarka ile anlaştığını ve bu kapsamda adada büyük bir askeri varlık oluşturma sürecine başlayacaklarını duyurdu. Trump tarafından büyük bir başarı olarak gösterilen anlaşmanın, aslında zaten uzun süredir Danimarka ve Grönland tarafından ABD’ye sunulan şartları içerdiği görülüyor. New York’ta imzalanacak Nitekim Danimarka ve Grönland’dan gelen açıklamalar tarafların memnuniyetini gösteriyor. Danimarka Başbakan Mette Frederiksen önceki gece yarısı yaptığı açıklamada, “Grönland, Danimarka Krallığı ve ABD adına iyi bir anlaşmanın hayata geçecek olmasından memnuniyet duyuyorum. Bu, Arktik ve Kuzey Atlantik bölgesindeki ortak güvenliğimizi güçlendiren ve dolayısıyla NATO ile Avrupa için de fayda sağlayan bir anlaşma. Aynı zamanda Krallığın egemenliğini ve toprak bütünlüğünü olduğu kadar, Grönland halkının kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkını da tanıyan bir anlaşma” dedi. Frederiksen, anlaşmanın gelecek hafta Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu’nda imzalanacağını doğruladı. Anlaşmayı New York’ta Danimarka adına, Frederiksen’in imzalayacağı belirtildi. Grönland Hükümet Başkanı Jens-Frederik Nielsen de, ABD, Grönland ve Danimarka arasında bir anlaşma sağlanması ihtimalini memnuniyetle karşıladığını belirtti. Nielsen, “Grönland, Danimarka Krallığı, ABD ve Batı ittifakı için güvenliği sağlayan ve güçlendiren bir anlaşmayı sonuçlandırma aşamasında olmamız memnuniyet verici” ifadelerini kullandı. Rusya ve Çin’e engel Anlaşmanın maddeleri henüz açıklanmasa da, taraflara yakın isimler tarafından yapılan açıklamalar büyük oranda içeriği gösterdi. Buna göre anlaşma, ABD’nin Grönland’daki askeri varlığını önemli ölçüde genişletmesini öngörürken, ABD’ye adada kalıcı erişim, üs kurma ve hava sahasını kullanma hakları tanıyacak. Anlaşmanın 1951 tarihli ABD-Danimarka savunma anlaşmasının kapsamını genişletmesi planlanıyor. Anlaşmada varılan maddeler arasında, Grönland’ın gelecekte bağımsız bir ülke olması durumunda bile anlaşmanın sona ermeyeceğini belirten bir madde de yer alıyor. Anlaşma uyarınca ABD Grönland veya Danimarka’dan onay almasına gerek kalmadan ek askeri yapılar inşa etme konusunda yetkiye sahip olacak. Ayrıca NATO üyesi olmayan ülkelerin Grönland’da üs kurmasını yasaklanıyor. Rusya ve Çin gibi ülkelerin “hassas sektörlere” asker konuşlandırmasını veya yatırım yapmasını engelleniyor. Trump geçmişte defalarca, eski bir Danimarka kolonisi olan Grönland’ı ilhak etmekle tehdit etmiş, daha sonra da cezai gümrük vergileriyle Ada’nın ABD’ye satışını zorlamaya çalışmıştı. Trump’ın tehditleri Avrupa ülkeleri ve ABD’nin NATO ortakları arasında büyük öfke ve geniş çaplı dirençle karşılaşmış; transatlantik ittifak yıpratıcı bir süreçten geçmişti.
Denmark hails 'binding' Greenland deal with Trump
Denmark on Saturday hailed a “binding” deal announced by US President Donald Trump to give Washington “permanent control“ over Greenland’s security and bar Russian and Chinese bases from the Arctic territory. Since returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly insisted that Washington needed to control Greenland for strategic reasons, alarming NATO ally Denmark and sparking fierce pushback from the alliance. Denmark and Greenland — an autonomous Danish territory — both hailed the agreement and said they would sign it on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week. “A long period of uncertainty will hopefully be replaced by a binding agreement that strengthens security in the Arctic and North Atlantic,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a social media post on Saturday. The deal respected Denmark’s “red lines” and was “important” in light of a changed security situation, he said. ‘Permanent control’ While the terms are still unclear, Denmark maintains that its sovereignty remains intact. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the agreement with Washington “recognises the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination”. It was “good for NATO and Europe”, she said. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the deal “recognises Greenland’s interests” and “strengthens” its security. In Greenland’s capital Nuuk, residents had mixed feelings. “I don’t know exactly what the agreement is or what has been signed. But whenever the US and Trump are mentioned, I have mixed feelings. I’m not entirely comfortable with how much attention Greenland has right now,” Soren Kreutzmann, a 29-year-old hairdresser, told AFP. “We hope the leaders have made a good agreement, because our country needs to be protected, both from the air and sea. Denmark had not given that enough attention for many years,” said Bibbi Kleist Jepsen, a 64-year-old pedagogue. Trump hailed the deal as an “’Infinite Life’ Agreement, there is no end!”. Washington would immediately start building up a large military presence in the territory, he added. “From now on, no US adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.” While Trump presented the deal as a major triumph, Danish commentators said he had likely gained little. They noted that, under a 1951 defence pact updated in 2004, Washington was already able to ramp up its military presence on the island provided it informs Denmark and Greenland in advance. “Shhh. Don’t tell Trump that it’s the Kingdom of Denmark that has prevailed,” US correspondent Jacob Heinel Jensen wrote in Danish newspaper Berlingske on Saturday. Ulrik Pram Gad, a researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, said Trump “obviously didn’t get in this agreement what he originally set out to have, that is, sovereign control over all of Greenland as a part of the United States”. China, Russia concerns Trump has repeatedly warned of Russia and China trying to establish a foothold in Greenland as a strategic battle unfolds for supremacy in a warming Arctic. The State Department left no doubt that they would not be allowed to do so. “This agreement guarantees that China and Russia cannot have a base in Greenland, they cannot send troops to Greenland, and the necessary mechanisms are in place to prevent investment in sensitive sectors,” a State Department official said. Gad noted that while Russia had little interest in Greenland, China was investing in extractive industries to get a foothold in the Arctic. “The US is worried that any kind of Chinese footprint could be turned into military assets,” he said. Cautioning that the details of the deal remained unknown, Gad said “the worrisome thing here is this exclusive access for the US to build bases in Greenland and how that involves NATO allies from Europe. “Trump has been flirting with breaking up the NATO alliance… If Europe is an adversary, how would that position Europe, Denmark and Greenland in that situation?” Furthermore, “if the US can also veto European investments in Greenland, that would be highly controversial.” Several media outlets have reported that Washington wants to open three new military bases in southern Greenland, in addition to the Pituffik base it already has in the north of the territory. At the height of the crisis, Trump would not rule out using force to seize the territory of 57,000 inhabitants, sowing anxiety within the EU and NATO. Tensions have since eased. In an apparent move to assuage Trump, NATO launched a mission to bolster security in the Arctic.

Arktik ve Kuzey Atlantik Bölgesi'ndeki ortak güvenliğimizi güçlendiren bu anlaşma, NATO ve Avrupa için de harikadır. Aynı zamanda Krallığın egemenliğini, toprak bütünlüğünü ve Grönland halkının kendi kaderini tayin hakkını tanıyan bir anlaşmadır” ifadelerini kullandı. 'HEPİMİZİN YARARINA' Grönland Başbakanı Jens-Frederik Nielsen ise konuya ilişkin değerlendirmesinde şunları kaydetti: “Grönland'ın, Danimarka Krallığı'nın, ABD'nin ve Batı İttifakı'nın güvenliğini sağlayacak ve güçlendirecek bir anlaşma yapmak üzere olmamız sevindiricidir. Anlaşma, Grönland'ın çıkarlarını ve uluslararası iş birliğindeki yerimizi tanımaktadır. Bu hepimizin yararınadır.” ABD Başkanı Donald Trump sanal medya hesabından yaptığı açıklamada, Danimarka ve Grönland ile anlaşma sağlandığını bildirmişti. Anlaşmanın ABD'nin tüm endişelerini eksiksiz şekilde karşıladığını belirtip Grönland'daki güvenlik ve diğer tüm ihtiyaçlar üzerinde ülkesinin kalıcı kontrol elde ettiğini duyuran Trump, anlaşma uyarınca hiçbir ABD rakibinin Grönland'da askeri üs kuramayacağını veya askeri varlık bulunduramayacağını ifade etmişti.
Danimarka ve Grönland'dan ABD ile kritik anlaşma! Tarih belli olduTrump says Denmark to give US 'permanent control' over Greenland security
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he had struck a deal with Denmark to give Washington “permanent control” over Greenland’s security that would bar Russia and China from setting up bases in the Arctic territory. Since returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly insisted that Washington needed to control Greenland for strategic reasons, alarming Nato ally Denmark and sparking fierce pushback from the alliance. Denmark and Greenland — an autonomous territory controlled by Copenhagen — both hailed the deal and said they would sign it on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week. But the terms of the deal remain uncertain, and Denmark maintains its sovereignty remains intact. In a statement, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen described the deal as “an agreement which at the same time recognises the sovereignty an territorial integrity of the kingdom and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination”. “I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland,” Trump said on his Truth Social network. “From now on, no US adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.” The 80-year-old said it was an “‘Infinite Life’ Agreement, there is no end!” and said Washington would immediately start building up a large military presence in the territory. ‘Good agreement’ Trump has repeatedly warned about Russia and China trying to establish a foothold in Greenland as a strategic battle for supremacy in a warming Arctic unfolds, and the State Department left no doubt that they would not be allowed to do so. “This agreement guarantees that China and Russia cannot have a base in Greenland, they cannot send troops to Greenland, and the necessary mechanisms are in place to prevent investment in sensitive sectors,” a State Department official said. At the Davos economic forum this past January, Trump reached a purported deal with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte over the future of Greenland, the terms of which have remained vague. Frederiksen had said on Monday that she was “optimistic” that ongoing discussions with the United States and Greenland since January could resolve the dispute. She said on Friday she was “pleased that there is a prospect of a good agreement for Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States,” adding that it was “good for Nato and Europe.” Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the deal with the United States “strengthens” the territory’s security. Nato tensions Trump gave no details about how the deal would work, and it was not clear if it was linked to or substantially different from the Rutte deal. But several media outlets have reported that the United States wants to open three new military bases in southern Greenland, in addition to the Pituffik base it already has in the north of the territory. A 1951 defence pact, updated in 2004, already allows Washington to ramp up troop deployments and military installations on the island provided it informs Denmark and Greenland in advance. At the height of the crisis, Trump would not rule out using force to seize the territory of 57,000 inhabitants, sowing anxiety within the EU and Nato. Since then, tensions have cooled somewhat, and in an apparent move to assuage Trump, Nato launched a new mission to bolster security in the Arctic.
