Greenland’s Minerals Won’t Secure the U.S. Supply Chain

The National Interest
Summary
Nutrition label

85% Informative

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to control Greenland , an autonomous territory of Denmark .

Greenland is home to a variety of critical minerals, including rare earth elements, uranium, zinc, and nickel.

But Arctic conditions, local opposition, and processing and refining challenges make near-term gains unlikely.

In recent years , the renewed attention on minerals, in particular on rare earth elements, has brought investment back to Greenland .

Accessing minerals in places like Greenland does little to address the strategic asymmetry with China with which the Trump administration is rightly concerned.

The natural policy option would be to pursue ally-shoring of processing and refining facilities based in Greenland or other friendly states.
