“A U.S. private sector delegation, led by a former Trump administration official, is set to visit Greenland this week to explore investment opportunities in the Arctic island’s vast natural resources. U.S. interest in Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark, has increased since Donald Trump took office in January, causing political tension with Copenhagen. Trump has refused to rule out taking Greenland by military force if Denmark won’t sell it. This visit marks the first by a private sector delegation to the Arctic island since the election of Jens-Frederik Nielsen of the pro-business Demokratiit Party as its premier. … Drew Horn, CEO of GreenMet and former chief of staff for the Office of International Affairs at the Department of Energy during the first Trump administration, will lead the group. ‘I’m not trying to do anything crazy like orchestrate a purchase or acquisition of Greenland by the United States,’ Horn told Reuters.” (04/30/25)
