The Danish Foreign Ministry reaffirmed on Wednesday that last month’s agreement between Denmark, Greenland and the US did not alter the rules for extraction.

The agreement “does not grant investors from the US any preferential treatment” over investors from other NATO and EU countries when it comes to access to natural resources in Greenland, the ministry said.

In a post on Truth Social, US President Trump called the semi-autonomous Danish territory “our new and beautiful Greenland”.

Trump, o primeiro‑ministro dinamarquês Mette Frederiksen e o primeiro‑ministro de Groenlândia Jens‑Frederik Nielsen assinaram o acordo de 10 páginas nas margens da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas em Nova York em 22 de setembro, encerrando meses de tensões sobre as ameaças de Trump de controlar Groenlândia.

The deal allows the US to “modernise and expand” its activities at the Pituffik Space Base, a remote US military installation in northwest Greenland.

It also paved the way for two new military bases and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defence system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination.

Não alocou nenhum direito para mineração ou perfuração.

Greenland banned uranium mining and all future oil exploration in 2021.

O governo está revisando se uma empresa do Texas, Greenland Energy, pode usar licenças que antecedem a proibição.

The company said in August it planned to drill for oil in 2027 at an untested basin on Greenland’s east coast, although it lacked its own permit.

Danish security policy adviser Jacob Kaarsbo said Trump’s comments could signal that his desire to control Greenland remains unchanged.

Mikkel Olesen, pesquisador sênior do Instituto Dinamarquês de Estudos Internacionais, disse à Al Jazeera que os detalhes sobre direitos de mineração e exploração permaneciam obscuros e que as informações provenientes principalmente do lado dos EUA deveriam ser tomadas “com um grão de sal”.

Richard Weitz, a fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome, said Trump “backed down and settled for less” than he sought, but still “got pretty much everything he wanted, except formal annexation”.
