Trump-Linked Oil Company Preparing to Drill in Greenland

HeadlineAug 11, 2026

A U.S. oil company linked to President Trump called Greenland Energy is preparing to drill in Greenland without local approval. The firm recently landed drilling equipment on Greenland’s eastern coast as President Trump renews threats to seize the Arctic territory. Greenland’s government issued a “strong warning” that no permission was granted. The island’s Mineral Resources Authority must approve all future logistical operations before they proceed, officials said.
