An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities.
As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland’s eastern coast.
That has prompted Greenland’s government to issue a “strong warning” that no approval had been granted to land the kit. “All future logistical matters must be advised and approved by the mineral resources authority – before they are carried out,” the government said in a statement.
Two days later, Trump made his latest menacing post on Truth Social, showing himself looming over a Greenlandic village.
The US is acting exactly as Russia does. They are putting a pretend line in and saying it is a private company, private individuals undertaking these actions.
First it will be an “innocent” oil company that is just exploring. Then it will be the oil company needs private security. Then suddenly we have a PMC set up in Jameson Land, which just happens to be owned by Jared Kushner.
You can intercept it now, sure, but they will try again in a more underhanded way in a more isolated area. This is going to be a continuous siege until Trump is dead.
Ok, but how is doing nothing now going to help at all?
They might be hoping he dies soon.
