DONALD TRUMP FALSELY CLAIMS US GOT BOTH GREENLAND AND VENEZUELA AT GEORGIA RALLY

What happened: At a Georgia rally for Republican candidates, US President Donald Trump claimed the US had secured Greenland and Venezuela, calling it the "greatest real estate deal in history." Neither territory has been transferred to US sovereignty. Key numbers: The US and Denmark signed a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding on October 22. Why it matters: The MoU states it "does not apply to Greenland or the Faroe Islands," and Denmark's foreign minister framed the deal as commercial, opening opportunities for Danish companies and jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
