Russia Watches US Golden Dome Plan
Russia is watching the United States' plan to build a big shield in space called the Golden Dome.
This shield is meant to stop missiles from countries like China and Russia.
The US President, Donald Trump, started this plan and says it will cost a lot of money and be ready by 2029.
Russia is curious about what this shield will do and who it will protect against.
Trump also wanted to buy Greenland, but he's not pushing for that anymore.
Russia says they won't take over Greenland, but Trump says the US is negotiating for access.
Russia is monitoring the US Golden Dome missile defense plan.
The plan aims to create a network of satellites to intercept missiles.
The program is expected to cost $175 billion and be functional by 2029.
Russia questions the objectives and threats the dome will address.
Trump has softened his stance on acquiring Greenland and is negotiating for access.
