Greenland issues "strong warning" as American oil firm illegally drills wells

An American oil company with Trump connections, Greenland Energy, has illegally brought drilling equipment ashore in remote Greenland without government approval, prompting Greenland's authorities to issue a "strong warning" that all future operations must be approved by the mineral resources authority. The Texas-based company claims $1 trillion in crude may exist beneath the region and plans to drill exploratory wells, though Greenland stopped issuing new oil licenses in 2021 on environmental grounds. The incident occurs as Trump has recently renewed threats to claim the Arctic territory.
