Hands off Greenland

Two separate petitions are calling for action against U.S. President Trump’s power grabs, as he once again flexes his muscles over Greenland after just half a year. The petitions from Avaaz and eko support the Greenlandic government and are directed at EU member states as well as the international community. The NGOs warn:

A Texas-based oil company with ties to Trump could begin oil drilling on the Arctic island at any time — without any authorization from the Greenlandic authorities. For months, Trump has been threatening to invade in order to be the first to access Greenland’s oil and rare earth minerals and then occupy the entire island.

Now the Greenlandic government faces a huge dilemma: if it denies permission, Trump will most likely invade anyway and do as he pleases. If it grants Trump permission to drill, that is tantamount to surrender. In recent months, Trump has shown that he invades sovereign countries illegally, as if the world were his personal self-service store. This is about more than the destruction of the fragile Arctic ecosystem and the cruel oppression of the indigenous communities on the Arctic island.

We must stop Trump’s warmongering and greed for oil and protect Greenland. Sign the petitions!
