US oil firm linked to Trump prepares unauthorized drilling in Greenland
Greenland's government has warned an American oil firm linked to Donald Trump after it landed equipment on the island's eastern coast without official authorization.
Greenland's government has issued warnings after an American energy firm linked to US President Donald Trump delivered equipment to the territory's eastern coast without local permission. Greenland Energy, led by Trump associate Robert Price, brought machinery ashore in recent days as part of preparations for oil exploration planned between 2026 and 2027.
Authorities in Nuuk emphasized that any hydrocarbon exploration requires explicit approval from the island's autonomous government, which has not been granted. Despite the lack of authorization, the firm plans to begin preliminary operations in October. The development comes as Washington renews geopolitical interest in the Arctic region and its resource reserves.
