Greenland Rejects Trump's Claim About Raw Materials Discovery
Greenland's government rejected remarks by the US president about the imminent discovery of mineral resources in the region.
The government of Greenland rejected the statements of the head of the American terrorist state about the imminent exploration of mineral resources in this region.
According to Ambassador Arjan, the government of Greenland has rejected the statements of Donald Trump, the head of the American terrorist state, regarding the imminent exploration of mineral resources in this region.
Jørgen Hamken-Holme, a senior official at Greenland's Ministry of Economic Affairs, told CNN that although there is activity by American companies, it is far from extensive exploration.
The report goes on to say that many smaller exploration projects are underway, but could take years to come to fruition. Greenland's government had previously denied similar reports in the summer.
Trump had previously announced on his social platform, Truth Social, that massive exploration for oil, gas and mineral resources is about to begin in Greenland.
He referred to this polar island, which belongs to Denmark, as America's new and beautiful Greenland. The US president also claimed that some experts believe there is far more readily available oil in Greenland than almost anywhere else in the world. This is despite the fact that extracting resources in this island has been considered difficult for a long time.
It seems that the President of the United States is repeatedly trying to answer the concerns of his citizens about the increase in energy prices.
With key midterm elections nearly three weeks away, he and the Republican Party are under particular pressure due to rising fuel prices stemming from the war on Iran.
The United States, Denmark and Greenland signed an agreement for deeper security cooperation in September.
This agreement, at least temporarily, ended the dispute over this polar island, which Trump himself had fueled by threatening to annex it.
The agreement modernizes and complements the existing defense agreement between Denmark and the United States, which dates back to 1951.
According to the text released by the White House, oil and gas are not explicitly mentioned in this agreement. However, the agreement refers to cooperation in the field of minerals and, more generally, to cooperation in the field of economic development.
The conflict with the United States has made the Danish government prepare for a military confrontation for some time. Other European countries, including Germany, also sent troops to the island for a short time.
