US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that “massive” exploration for oil, gas and minerals was preparing to begin in Greenland, without providing details about the plans. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that experts believed Greenland held more easily accessible oil than almost any other land area in the world. Trump also highlighted Greenland’s strategic importance to US national security, saying any future attack on the United States would have to pass through the island. He added that US defences would routinely intercept drones, missiles and other weapons. The remarks come after the United States, Denmark and Greenland signed an agreement last month aimed at easing tensions following Trump’s repeated threats to take control of the mineral-rich Arctic territory.

It also opens the way for Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system. However, the deal reaffirms Danish sovereignty over Greenland and recognises the right of Greenlanders to determine their own future. Greenland’s location between North America and Europe makes it strategically significant for Arctic security. Its mineral resources have also attracted growing international interest. Trump’s latest comments did not specify when exploration would begin, which companies would be involved or whether any projects had received formal approval.
