What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Greenland is pushing for independence from Denmark, while the United States has been seeking greater control and influence over the territory. Recently, Donald Trump signed a new security agreement involving the United States, Denmark, and Greenland. This deal expands the U.S. military presence on the island while keeping Greenland under Danish sovereignty.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The territory holds critical resources, including rare earth minerals, nickel, copper, and cobalt, which are vital for global energy and defense technology. The United States is seeking to reduce its reliance on China and Russia for these minerals. Greenland Mines stated the new pact could help secure a critical-minerals supply chain for allied countries.

The situation follows previous threats by the Trump administration to annex Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark.
