Was Trump right (again) after all?
In August 2019, President Trump was ridiculed for reportedly expressing an interest in buying Greenland
“Greenland is a strategic place… they’ve got a lot of valuable minerals,” he explained in August 2019, and he was right: Danish surveys have found that the owner of the island would stake a claim to around 900,000 sq km of the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean.
As we noted at the time, there is also – not surprisingly – a race for supremacy with China over the island’s future. So far, Washington has prevented Beijing from financing three airports on Greenland that would give it a toehold on the strategically important island – which is also the world’s largest by square mileage – something the US military refuses to risk. And though it has vast natural resources across its 811,000 square miles, Greenland relies on $591 million of subsidies from Denmark annually, which makes up about 60% of its annual budget.
Greenland quickly rebuffed Trump saying “we’re not for sale.”
But now it appears Greenland is more open to the idea as a group of American billionaires have teamed to form a joint venture to mine the nation’s trillion-dollar resources for rare natural resources required for electric vehicle battery production.

If the ice caps melt, (yeah, right) the place will be worth even more. There could be oil and gold and all kinds of resources hidden there. Trump is no dummy.
Now the rich libtards are going to tear up the planet so they can save us from ourselves. 🤪
I’ll bet greenland is as liberal as the other Scandinavian countries. In that case, I hope this goes sour for them.
Welcome to our feudal lords.
The autocracy is out from the shadows and in your face.
Earth first! We mine the other planets later.
Now that “Earth First!” promo is an A-plus for this season’s programs.

H*TE those rich elite CS dem deep state b*stards!
Looks like obxxx was wrong yet again. Apparently, sooner or later you’ve made enough money. Guess not. 😈💵💴💶💷💸💰
Hey!That’s my line.😁
It’s better than China owning the island.
There was a reality series that follow a group of miners who wanted to mine in Greenland - most of the areas where good mineral deposits are found are up large unstable hills that are continuously crumbling. Very dangerous place for miners.
And the habitat of the tri-anus Arctic wombat might be disturbed.
