Trump-linked oil firm to begin drilling in Greenland without official permission: Report | The Cradle
#Nuuk states that the landing of the drilling equipment was never authorized, even as the energy company plans to begin drilling in October
Greenland Energy, a US oil company established last year with ties to President Donald Trump, recently unloaded drilling equipment on Greenland's eastern coast without securing permission from local authorities.
Greenland's Department of Industry and Minerals issued a “strong warning” that it had authorized neither the shipment nor its arrival on shore, stating that every logistical step tied to the project must be cleared in advance by the mineral resources authority.
Residents of the thinly populated Jameson Land region had watched a tug haul a barge toward the coast and offload roughly a dozen containers. The equipment was brought in for planned oil exploration drilling at Nunap Qeqqa, according to the government statement
