Denmark pushes back as Trump touts Greenland oil and mineral deals

Denmark is pushing back against US President Donald Trump's claims that deals on oil and minerals have been secured with Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The dispute involves three parties: the United States, Greenland and the Danish government.

According to the source, the recent three-way agreement between the US, Greenland and Denmark does not include mining or drilling rights. At the same time, it reinforces Greenland's sovereignty. That means the picture Trump has presented of oil and mineral deals is not borne out by the terms of the agreement as described.

The source provides no further details on the content of the agreement or on the form Denmark's objections have taken.
