> US President Donald Trump said major oil, gas and mineral exploration would begin in Greenland, but gave no details about companies, locations or timing. He also offered no evidence for his claim that the island has vast, easily accessible oil deposits. The announcement follows an agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland's leaders to expand the US military presence there.
