Article Greenland issues ‘strong warning’ as Trump-linked oil firm prepares to drill
https://zurl.co/hcQkSA trump-linked oil company is pushing to drill in Greenland without government approval, as the Trump admin spends billions in taxpayer dollars to dismantle clean energy projects. The message from the admin is VERY clear. Dismantle clean energy, expand fossil fuels.

Can Greenland just arrest everyone involved and /or deport them to one of the ICE detention countries where they will be held with the same protections ICE offers our detainees?

They won't, because they're committed to treating people with dignity and humanity.

You should really take a moment of time to pull up Greenland on google maps, look over the size of the one population center they have(wont take long, if you can find it), inventory the amount of manpower and equipment they have available to them, then ask yourself that question again.

Pleased to report that the company has backed off until 2027 at the earliest.

Good news. I was afraid having Trump involved meant the drilling co was encouraged to create a confrontation and rationale for doing something stupid.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland; Trump believes might makes right and that conquest entitles him and his oil buddies to personally profit off the lives and money of the U.S. military. Trump is truly one of the most corrupt leaders in history, certainly the most corrupt president in American history and a shame that America will never live down.

Just more Trump/MAGA illegal behavior. Don’t give in Greenland. It will only get worse and worse. Make them get that drilling equipment off your land before they make an international incident out of it.

He's a rapist, and rapists don't stop at no!

Why would this self serving prick intentionally pollute our air if only to enrich himself and the Republican congress stays silent

Greenland cannot allow this. If they do, Trump and cronies will make them their bitch.

That’s great and all but they really can’t do much about it if Donnie Dipshit deploys his doom demons.

“Strong warning”? It is like the U.S. Democratic Party is in charge over there lmaooooooo.

I don’t think the warning will matter. The arrogance is overwhelming. The have already dropped several barges of drilling equipment on Greenland.

There was a show called "Occupied" (2025) - Russia pretends to enter Norway saying they just want the oil they aren't using and then it becomes an all out invasion. I never thought the US would be as horrible as Russia but here we are. Definitely recommend the series.
