Donald Trump's pursuit of Greenland for its rare minerals has raised ethical questions, as many of his substantial campaign donors may profit from this endeavor. The administration's aim includes securing essential resources for the US tech industry and exploring oil and gas. An analysis revealed that tech moguls and fossil fuel executives, who collectively donated over $243 million to Trump's campaign, have vested financial interests in Greenland's mining sector. This conundrum exemplifies the intertwining of donations, investments, and national policy, highlighting the complexities surrounding the motivation and implications of the administration's Arctic ambitions.
These donations are investments made with particular outcomes in mind... the money changed hands, raising ethical questions around Trump's pursuit of Greenland.
This is about critical minerals, this is about natural resources, Trump's national security adviser, Mike Waltz, recently said.
