Rubio: US considers rare earths in Greenland
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the United States may begin investing in and mining rare earth minerals in Greenland, following the signing of an agreement with local authorities that opens the door to investment opportunities in the island's mineral resources. This statement was in response to the possibility of Washington’s involvement in mineral extraction, clarifying that the cooperation will include a partnership with Greenland. Rubio emphasized that the economic and strategic importance of these minerals is increasing, especially given their use in energy technology and defense. The remarks come amid a broad agreement signed last September between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland to strengthen U.S. military presence in the region. It is also noted that Greenland contains 24 of the 34 minerals considered critically important by the Geological Survey, despite challenges related to infrastructure and the island’s climate conditions.
