Greenland Issues Warning Over Trump-Linked Oil Firm's Unauthorized Drilling Plans
A Texas-based oil company linked to former US President Donald Trump is preparing to drill exploratory wells in Greenland's Jameson Land region without local approval. Greenland's government issued a strong warning after drilling equipment arrived without permission, emphasizing that all logistical activities require prior authorization. The company plans to explore potentially significant oil reserves, but Greenland halted new oil licenses in 2021 due to environmental concerns. Trump's previous statements have highlighted strategic and security interests in Greenland, raising regional attention.
