Trump is determined to push his demand for Greenland and, of course, fossil fuels are behind it.
“Executives of Greenland Energy, a Texas company set up last year, have claimed that $1tn of crude may lie beneath the Jameson Land region. They announced plans to spend $60m drilling two wells to find out.”
The Guardian has details but, in short, it looks like a serious effort to encroach on a foreign country’s territory by a US company, rather than the US federal government or its armed forces (for now). Equipment is being deployed without any permits or sign that permits have been applied for.
“Larry Swets, Greenland Energy’s chair and a big shareholder, appears to enjoy access to Trump’s circle. He has said the oil project is ‘not related to American annexation’.”
