The US and Denmark announce a deal on Greenland's security, resolving a diplomatic dispute sparked by President Donald Trump's threats to seize the territory by force. In a post on social media, Mr Trump said the deal would mean "no US adversary can ever have a base in Greenland". Greenland and Denmark have said the deal strengthens security in the Arctic and is good for the Nato military alliance. Also: President Trump has signed a bill authorising sweeping new sanctions on Russia, designed to increase economic pressure on Moscow because of its war in Ukraine. California Governor Gavin Newsom orders research into AI ‘kill switch’ in response to safety fears. Warren Buffett steps down from the investment company he's led for more than six decades. Organisers apologise for playing the North Korean national anthem for the South Korean men's hockey team at the Asian Games in Japan.
