Greenland has allowed a Danish-French consortium to mine a rock which is key to the production of aluminum.

The permit granted to Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM) to extract anorthosite follows interest in the Arctic territory from U.S. President Donald Trump in acquiring the autonomous island which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

GAM, which is backed by French company Jean Boulle Group and real estate investment firms bodies from Denmark and Greenland, was granted a 30-year permit, Reuters reported.

Jesper Willaing Zeuthen, associate professor at Aalborg University, in Denmark, told Newsweek Trump's interest in Greenland's resources is likely to be more in securing long-term investment objects which is difficult under current Greenlandic legislation

1. I'd guess we will hear some fireworks soon... It is sad to be rooting against our own country but...

--that is what Trump has left us in a choice between his insane imperialistic desires versus international law.

6. I'm Sad for the Arctic.

I wish it could be preserved better.

8. Rooting against the yam titted monkey

is rooting for your country. Little if anything he says is for America is really good for America and the world.

9. "Yam-titted monkey"

I have to write that down.

It can turn me into something of a sourpuss.

11. trump and Putin together have really unified the western nations

against them in such a way as I've not seen in my lifetime.

If unity and comity among the western liberal democracies is the actual goal of Putin and trump, they're both geniuses. If their goal is anything (anything) else, they are both (as already presumed) degenerate idiots.

Greenland's Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen said that U.S. interest in the island has not resulted in any investment and the deal signals that business dialog with European partners was progressing more quickly.
