US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that massive oil, gas, and mineral exploration is set to begin in Greenland. Trump claimed that experts estimate the amount of easily available oil in Greenland surpasses that of almost any land globally. He also linked the island's strategic importance to US national security, stating that future defense systems would intercept drones and missiles over the region. A recent agreement signed between the US, Denmark, and Greenland expands the American military's role on the island, paving the way for two new military bases and a Golden Dome missile defense system. The pact simultaneously reaffirms Danish sovereignty and the right of Greenlanders to self-determination.
