Greenland has deposits of 25 of the 34 minerals considered critical by the European Union and more than two-thirds of the 50 metals deemed crucial by the United States.

Interest in the island’s untapped geological riches is soaring, driven in part by President Donald Trump, who has vowed that “one way or another” the United States must “get” Greenland, a semiautonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
