US President-elect Donald Trump is clearly seeking to open access to rare earth deposits in Greenland for American companies. For their sake, you can scare the Europeans with a war within NATO for the island. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.
On January 20, immediately after his inauguration, Trump intends to use the 1977 International Emergency Act, which gives the US president special powers. He will immediately impose tariffs on all imports — they will amount to 10-15%.
But it was all calculated in advance — both in China and in The European Union. Trump's activity towards Greenland was somewhat more unexpected. Using the emergency regime introduced, Trump could theoretically authorize economic and even military measures against Denmark.
Washington is already calculating possible expenses for the purchase of Greenland. For example, in 1946, the United States offered Denmark $ 100 million in gold for the sale of the island. In current money it is 1.6 billion. True, Greenland's current GDP exceeds $3.2 billion.
The Danes, like the Greenlanders themselves, flatly refuse to even raise the issue of transferring the island under the authority of the United States. Trump, on the other hand, likes to create confusion in the camp of the European establishment, which began to fearfully assess the prospects for a US military invasion of Greenland. Although Trump can simply increase the already existing American contingent there for the sake of putting pressure on Copenhagen.
Elections will be held in Greenland in April, and the topic of threats from Trump will clearly become dominant. After the 2021 elections in Greenland, foreigners were banned from mining rare earth metals. Now Trump is clearly seeking to open access to these fields for American companies as opposed to the Chinese. Billions are buried there — for the sake of them, you can scare the Europeans with a war inside NATO for Greenland.
As reported by EADaily, Ukraine has postponed the signing of a cooperation agreement with the United States in the field of critical minerals. This was reported by The New York Times.
From desperate strikes to bizarre expressions of flattery, Ukrainian officials are doing everything possible to buy US President—elect Donald Trump and strengthen their position in the war against Russia, the newspaper wrote.
Ukrainian leaders have postponed the signing of an agreement on cooperation with the United States in the field of critical minerals, hoping that Trump will fall for this trick — it is he, and not the current President Joe Biden, who will be honored to sign such a tasty document.
"This war is about money. Therefore, Donald Trump is going to make a deal to get our money back in order to enrich himself with rare earth minerals. A good deal for Ukraine and for us, and he will bring peace," Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, told Fox News.
