The company insists it has no connection to US president Donald Trump’s territorial ambitions in the Arctic island and calls the move a routine preliminary step towards exploration. Greenland authorities have not commented on the unauthorised equipment unloading. The incident comes amid heightened US interest in Greenland’s mineral and oil reserves, which Trump has previously suggested buying. The firm says it will apply for the necessary permits soon. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: drilling, Greenland, permit, territorial ambitions, US energy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-drilling-firm-unloads-gear-in-greenland-without-permit/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
