Greenland’s government is seeking greater clarity from Washington over its intentions in the Arctic, with Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen warning that any demand for unrestricted access to the island’s mineral wealth would cross clear red lines.
Speaking to Euronews, Nathanielsen said Greenland has yet to receive concrete details from the Trump administration, despite US President Donald Trump claiming that a framework for a possible agreement is already in place. We still need clarity on what America’s interests actually are. At this stage, we have not heard anything specific,” she said during Euronews’ 12 Minutes With interview programme.
The comments come as the United States, Greenland, and Denmark prepare to hold talks on a potential deal to expand the US presence on the Arctic island. The discussions follow President Trump’s decision to step back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on European countries unless Greenland agreed to a sale to the US.
Momentum for the talks reportedly gathered after NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte helped ease tensions during meetings with Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Greenland is known for its rich reserves of critical raw materials, though experts warn that mining them is costly, technically challenging and unlikely to deliver quick returns.
