The Orange Man did is usual chest thumping about Greenland….
President Trump is touting Greenland as both a military shield and a resource bonanza. “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland!” Trump noted in a Truth Social post early Wednesday, claiming that some experts believe the island’s easily tapped oil reserves rival almost any on Earth, per CBS News. He also framed Greenland as a critical buffer for US defense, saying any future strike on the US would have to cross the Arctic island, where American systems would intercept drones and missiles.
The president’s comments follow a September security pact among the US, Denmark, and Greenland that expands US bases, bars non-NATO military bases without approval, and nods to future “minerals cooperation” without spelling out how extraction will work. The AP notes that “despite Trump’s optimism, resource exploration and extraction in Greenland has stymied companies for decades thanks to the island’s harsh climate, lack of key infrastructure. and difficult geology. Previous efforts to extract so-called rare earth minerals, as well as oil and gas, have never progressed beyond the exploratory stage.”
“Our Greenland”?
This asshole thinks that if he says it enough soon everyone will believe his bullshit.
I think Greenland may have something to say about this announcement….
Greenland has issued a reality check to President Trump’s latest boast involving the Arctic island. After Trump wrote on Truth Social early Wednesday that “massive” oil, gas, and mineral exploration is poised to kick off there, Greenland’s deputy mining minister said the claim is far ahead of the facts, CNN reports.
Jørgen Hammeken-Holm did say some US-led prospecting was taking place, but that “we are very far away from ‘massive’ exploration.” He added that while “there are many smaller explorations underway … these could take years to become operational.” CNN reports Greenland’s terrain—remote, largely ice-covered, and lacking infrastructure—makes extraction difficult and costly.
I give him that he is determined to give the Tech Bros Greenland….after all he is probably paid well for his support.
He is getting silly with his determination to steal Greenland….one way or another.

And he is still talking about Canada too. Just this week. Best wishes, Pete.
