US weighs special status for Greenland as quest for island intensifies, Reuters reports
- Plans are underway within U.S. Circles to extend America's influence over Greenland through a Compact of Free Association agreement, potentially starting in May 2025.
- The idea follows China’s growing involvement in Greenland’s mining sector and political ties, which raised U.S. Concerns about strategic and supply-chain vulnerabilities.
- Greenland hosts significant rare earth mineral deposits crucial for high-tech and military uses, but extraction faces regulatory, infrastructural, and labor challenges.
- An official suggested that a COFA might offer an effective solution to some of the issues related to Greenland’s security, emphasizing the potential advantages of the proposed agreement.
- The plan implies Greenland would likely need independence from Denmark, though polls show most Greenlanders oppose U.S. Integration, and Denmark rejects U.S. Acquisition proposals.
