From The Guardian:An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities. That has prompted Greenland’s government to issue a “strong warning” that no approval had been granted to land the kit. It has also appointed as a director a U.S. navy veteran who is working on Golden Dome, the missile defence plan for which Trump says controlling Greenland is “vital”. This is a win-lose deal that serves U.S. mining interests and rewards Rwanda for decades of pillaging Congolese resources.” The report’s analysis of previously overlooked coltan trade data shows that the U.S. has been a central actor in laundering illegally smuggled Congolese minerals.
