The push to extract Greenland’s resources is already underway, with Texas-based firm Greenland Energy – which has ties to Trump – offloading drilling equipment in the island’s eastern Jameson Land region without the required local approval and falsely told residents that permission had been granted, according to an August report by The Guardian.

The company has claimed that up to $1 trillion in crude may lie beneath Jameson Land, but Greenland’s government warned it had not authorized the equipment landing or drilling. Greenland Energy subsequently delayed its plans and suspended drilling until 2027.

Sounds like Greenland needs to seize all that equipment…
