Greenland Spurns Trump, Signs Major Minerals Deal with Europe
Greenland granted a 30-year permit to Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM), a Danish-French consortium, to extract anorthosite, a key component in aluminum production. This follows past interest from the U.S. in acquiring Greenland, though no significant American investment has materialized. The permit aims to create a climate-friendly aluminum alternative, while cooperation with European partners proceeds more rapidly. According to an expert, U.S. interest may focus more on securing long-term resource access, a challenge under current Greenlandic legislation.
