‘Great potential’

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has been rather more effusive, announcing in 2023 that it had identified “great potential for critical raw materials in Greenland” as it released a detailed report.

“Many critical raw materials from the EU’s list can potentially be found in Greenland,” said the independent advisory body to the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, referring to the Critical Raw Materials act identifying 34 essential elements, half of which are deemed to be of heightened geostrategic importance to Europe.

The US may have genuine security concerns over an area of the world that, viewed from above, is substantially encircled by Russia, Canada and Greenland. Norway has an Arctic foothold in the Svalbard Islands, opposite America’s in Alaska.

While US vice-president JD Vance’s visit to Greenland last week was ostensibly an inspection of a US army outpost – the locals having made it clear his entourage would not be welcome at any cultural events – his boss has made his intentions clear.
