Greenland in the News Today
After writing Everything You Need to Know About Greenland For $3, I still watch the news for more insights about Greenland. There usually isn’t much to report. But this morning, the headlines are bursting full of Greenlandic press releases and news stories.
Greenland Energy taps Stampede Drilling for Jameson Land campaign:
“Greenland Energy signed a five-year [oil] drilling agreement with Stampede Drilling to execute a two-well campaign in the Jameson Land Basin of East Greenland.”
Energy Transition Minerals Seeks Trading Halt Ahead of Greenland Exploration Update
“Energy Transition Minerals Ltd has requested a trading halt on its securities on the ASX, effective from 30 March 2026, while it prepares an announcement on an update regarding its Greenland exploration activities. The halt will remain in place until the earlier of the announcement’s release or the commencement of normal trading on 1 April 2026, signalling that potentially price-sensitive information related to its Greenland operations is imminent for investors and stakeholders.”
Greenland Resources signs molybdenum supply deal with ROGESA
“The agreement aims to provide a sustainable molybdenum supply from Greenland, refined in Belgium for European standards.”
“From Greenland to Guyana, our security perimeter is one hemisphere”: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth unveils ‘Greater North America’ strategy… “from Greenland to the Gulf of America to the Panama Canal.”
From the New York Times: “Last year, Denmark’s national broadcaster delivered a bombshell of a story: Three Americans with ties to President Trump, it reported, were running “covert influence operations” in Greenland, the Danish territory that Mr. Trump covets.
Without naming the mysterious men, the report laid out in tantalizing detail how they had shuttled back and forth between the United States and Greenland, compiled lists of pro-American Greenlanders and tried to stoke a Greenlandic secessionist movement. Hours after the report aired, the Danish government summoned the top American diplomat in Copenhagen to protest.
It turns out that the figures at the center of the mystery have not exactly been hiding. Their activities have been less cloak-and-dagger and more the quite open blend of business and foreign policy that defines the Trump administration’s approach to the world…
“What President Trump is offering is billions of dollars of investment,” Mr. Horn said in January in an interview on “Fox & Friends.” He described a portfolio of private ventures “that span from A.I. data centers to multiple rare-earth and critical minerals projects.”
“I mean, the sky is the limit,” he said.
Last month, Mr. Horn flew back to Greenland for what is perhaps his most pie-in-the-sky project yet. He facilitated a deal with a Greenlandic partner to build an enormous data center for artificial-intelligence servers in Kangerlussuaq, a remote town in western Greenland that sits on a fjord. Right now, Kangerlussuaq is pretty sleepy, with a few hundred people, a clump of weather-beaten houses and a small airport.
He says that the project will rely on ships carrying liquid natural gas to power the future data center, and that this is the first step of an even bolder plan to build a major hydropower station in the same area…”
“Asked about the three men, the White House declined to comment on its relationship with them or their activities. Instead,
the White House said in a statement provided to The Times that it was working with Greenland and NATO on an agreement that will be ‘be amazing for the U.S.A.’”
Iran may dominate recent news in March, but it still sounds like I’m right about why America will be buying Greenland soon.
