Imagine if that happened and Denmark took its case to the Security Council. One could have China and Russia voting alongside France and the UK to uphold international law and the US wielding its veto.

Trump aide says no-one would fight US over Greenland

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07xkeee2k3o

Greenland is increasingly recognised as one of the most strategic jurisdictions globally for rare earths and other critical minerals.

Within that landscape, Alba Mineral Resources holds a standout position as majority owner of the Motzfeldt Critical Metals Project in southern Greenland ...

Our objective is to move Motzfeldt from the exploration to the development stage over the next 12-18 months.

... On the subject of Greenland, (Stephen) Miller (White House deputy chief of staff) offered a similarly strident model of U.S. power, questioning “what right” Denmark actually had over its legally recognized autonomous island territory, while insisting “nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

The comments come a day after Miller argued in a post on X that Western countries should not have given up their empires and colonies after WWII.

In recent days, the Trump administration has revived imperial rhetoric last seen in the early 1900s, as it defends its shock raid to capture Maduro and Trump’s comments over the weekend that the U.S. must take control of Greenland for national security purposes ...

Thinks everything is too slow, will want to sharply accelerate development.

Why is Trump so interested in Greenland?

Greenland is doubtless of strategic interest to the US but it is already under the control of a NATO ally and the US already has a military base in the North.

Of far more immediate concern to Trump appears to be Greenland's potential mineral resources.

Don't believe there is any need for divine intervention, needs the various human interests involved to arrive at an agreement "in order to better position the balance sheet to raise new capital in support of organic growth, increased production, and potential M&A activity".

I first posted on this board in 2019. At the time, it was completely dominated by the AAAG, the Anti-Angus Action Group (most of whom proceeded to get themselves banned and emigrated to the rival site).

Despite the current suspension of the share, the board is in a much healthier state today, with no shortage of posters backing ANGS and its future prospects.

Spain has made its disapproval very clear.

With his tariff policy, Trump took us back to the late 19th century.

Hawaii provides us with a late 19th century precedent for his Greenland ambitions:

"Hawaii became a U.S. state through a process starting with the overthrow of its monarchy by American-backed interests in 1893, leading to annexation as a U.S. territory in 1898, ..."

“We will deal with Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days,” he (Trump)added, without giving more information about what he meant.

“The future will be determined by the ability to protect commerce and territory and resources that are core to national security,” Trump said in his news conference announcing Maduro’s capture. (Not taken from the BBC article)

"BTW Ocelot, try answering all the points rather than hyper-focusing on one small part, and ignoring the herd of Elephants that are also in the room".

ZYX098,

Please ask another poster to answer all of your points, I only respond to those that interest me.

"If UKOG control the BoD of HHDL because they own 77.9% (despite having the same number of Directors as Alba), then they absolutely can choose to shut down operations on HH".

There is no "if" about it, it is only because UKOG controls HH that it can consolidate HH in its group accounts. We are not talking about a general election, the directors vote on behalf of the interests they represent, in SS's case, the controlling interest.

UKOG owns 77.9% of HHDL which owns 65% of HH. In addition, UKOG owns the remaining 35% of HH directly.

The US bombardment of Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolás Maduro, have renewed fears of an American takeover of Greenland, as members of Donald Trump’s Maga movement gleefully set their sights on the Danish territory after the attack in South America.

Just hours after the US military operation in Venezuela, the rightwing podcaster Katie Miller – the wife of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s powerful deputy chief of staff for policy – posted on X a map of Greenland draped in the stars and stripes with the caption: “SOON.” ...

In Trump's press conference of yesterday, Rubio seemed to be turning his attention towards Cuba.

Following coverage of Trump's press conference, there is a notable focus on the country's oil industry.

Amitsoq mine total gross projected revenue: $2.1bn (RNS of 31/10/23)

Processing plant total gross projected revenue: $6.5bn (RNS of 07/05/24, see post of 11:30 below)

Total projected revenue of the mine and the processing plant combined; $8.6bn

Looking at project finance from the point of view of the financial player, it takes time and expensive expertise too assess a project.

In the private sector, therefore, to operate profitably, a certain minimum size of finance is required in order to justify that upfront investment of time and cost.

To quote SB, he said that the EIFO "can provide up to hundreds of millions of euros". He also said, if I remember right, that finance through to production was more in keeping with the EIFO'S usual operating approach.
