Trump says Greenland oil, gas and mineral exploration ready to begin
The announcement comes four weeks after the U.S. signed a deal with Greenland and Denmark to bolster American military presence on the island.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on Trump’s claim that oil, gas and mineral exploration is about to begin in Greenland, and both tie the announcement to a recent US, Denmark and Greenland security deal. France 24 alone describes the plan as “massive” and mentions Trump’s repeated threats to seize control of the island, while CBS News instead foregrounds the timing as four weeks after the agreement to bolster the American military presence.
