Trump’s ‘Obsession’ with Critical Minerals Led Him to Greenland–for No Good Reason

Description

Greenlandic law, says Jesper Willaing Zeuthen, associate professor at Aalborg University and researcher in Greenland, states that even if a company or individual were to buy a large package of land in Greenland, the minerals therebeneath belong to the state. Therefore, said Zeuthen, it would be easier for companies if the US owned the whole island so it could throw the law out.
