【Trump: Greenland is about to begin resource exploration, with exceptional military strategic significance】
U.S. President Trump posted on Truth that large-scale oil, natural gas, and mineral exploration in Greenland is about to begin. Some experts have pointed out that Greenland's oil reserves far exceed those of any other region in the world. Trump also said that, from the perspective of the defense and offensive security of the United States and Europe, Greenland's advantages are unparalleled. Any future attack on the United States would have to pass through Greenland first, while U.S. defense forces would be able to easily shoot down drones, missiles, or any other weapons not yet conceived. Greenland gives the United States time, position, and visibility unmatched anywhere else in the world.
