Greenland contradicts Trump’s claim that ‘massive’ oil and gas drilling is about to begin there

Trump claimed Wednesday that massive oil, gas and mineral exploration in Greenland is about to begin. Greenland's deputy mining minister told CNN that is far from true, saying small explorations by US companies exist but years from becoming operational. Denmark's Foreign Ministry said US access to Greenland's resources must follow Greenland's laws, and last month's US-Denmark-Greenland agreement gives US investors no preferential treatment. Trump has long pushed to control Greenland, though he now says the media exaggerated claims he wanted to take it by force.
