US EditionGreenland says it will turn to China if US and EU shun its mining sector
- Greenland’s official responsible for business and mining indicated on Tuesday that if investment from the US and EU remains limited, the country may turn to China to support its mineral sector development.
- This statement follows hesitation from the US and EU to invest, partly due to President Trump's threats to control Greenland and geopolitical tensions around mineral development.
- Greenland recently granted a 30-year license to a French-majority company for anorthosite mining in West Greenland, aiming to start operations within five years to diversify its economy.
- Minister Nathanielsen remarked that the outcome exceeded their initial expectations, as Greenlanders prefer to maintain their independence rather than become part of the United States, a stance supported by 85% of the population who oppose integration with the U.S.
- If the US and EU continue to hesitate, Greenland may turn to China for investments, reflecting a strategic choice with implications for regional security and economic partnerships.
