What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

Donald Trump stated that massive oil, gas, and mineral exploration is set to begin in Greenland following a campaign event in Alaska. This follows repeated calls by Donald Trump to annex the territory. At the 2026 Arctic Circle Assembly, Washington emphasized military capabilities and resource development, contrasting with allies who prioritized sovereignty and environmental protection.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The push for annexation centers on access to strategic minerals and resources in the Arctic. Greenland is currently a self-governing territory of Denmark. The increased political focus on resource extraction in the region could boost investor confidence in oil and gas operations.
