Also the US already has a military base in Greenland and has for many decades. In fact, they used to have dozen or so during the Cold War. And because the area is apparently such vital importance to the defence of the US, they currently have… 150 soldiers stationed there.
In the one base they have kept.
And they know they can reactivate as many bases as they like, or create new ones if they wanted to. It’s all part of the current deal they already have and completely ignore.
Yup, mostly rare earth metals, but in protected areas that require lots of permitting and small operations. That’s why the US wants in, with it’s industry standards of no standards for industries. Think of all the money his friends stand to make here guys, cmon.
Yes. Invasion is not necessary to extract them. Money is.
In June, the US Export-Import Bank offered a $120 million loan to advance the development of the $290 million Tanbreez rare earth project in Southern Greenland. That same month, Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund (EIFO) increased its shareholding in Canada’s Amaroq Minerals, owner of a portfolio of critical minerals properties in Southern Greenland
In January, GreenRoc Strategic Materials, a developer focused on graphite in Greenland, announced that EIFO had expressed an interest in providing funding for its Amitsoq graphite project in Southern Greenland. The Amitsoq project was subsequently designated as an EU strategic project, granting access to funding and support from EU Member States and financial institutions.
Hammeken-Holm welcomed these developments, adding that foreign investment is critical for overcoming Greenland’s significant environmental and logistical challenges.

Trunp would have to cease it and remove the Government.
Rear Earths aren’t rare and are quite common, the issue is they are toxic to mine and refine. Australian company, Lynas has a mine in Western Australia and was originally refused permission to refine in Australia becase the waste is so toxic (gong back deacades now), so they built a refinery in Malaysia, this was one of the only non Chinese refineries on the planet.
Malaysia has since had enough of thatt shit and said thay woukd close the refinery down because of the toxic pollition. So now they will mine in Western Australia, do the most toxic refining there and ship to Malaysia the partially refined product to finish The Australiam Government has now granted them a super secret licence to do the most toxic bit of refining there and use up valuable water in the desert.
Not just money, but jurisdiction. They have a huge range of options for building military bases with few permissions required, but a lot of that “cheddar” they would want to extract is under development restrictions.
TL;DR - a legitimate democracy is in the way of oligarch profits once again

Very, very important location. Vital for defence.

Are you suggesting that when the President says it’s vital for national security that he’s being less than truthful?
Would he do that? Go on the Internet and tell lies?
Is there oil or rare earth metals?

An Australian company was all set to do that but was booted out of Greenland (mining licence revoked) by thier then newly elected Government.

Obviously it’s needed to refuel the Nuclear Subs on their way to Russian waters.
