Pursue policies enhancing U.S.–Greenland economic ties

Printed page 190 6. Department of State

“Concerning Greenland, the opening of a U.S. consulate in Nuuk is welcome. … Furthermore, given Greenland’s geographic proximity and its rising potential as a commercial and tourist location, the next Administration should pursue policies that enhance economic ties between the U.S. and Greenland.”

What has happened

  1. Partially done

    State reported to Congress on United States efforts to collaborate with Greenland in its mining sector: joint geological field programs and airborne surveys, mineral-data management and regulatory work, path-to-market and investment-framework advice, workforce training, and EXIM letters of interest for the Citronen Fjord zinc project (three years and two stages of due diligence toward roughly $657 million, about 80 percent of project cost) and the Tanbreez rare earth project. Policies enhancing economic ties are being pursued, which is what the Quote asks; partial rather than done because the report describes a ten-year technical-cooperation line rather than a new in-window instrument, and no completed agreement or investment is recorded. The consulate in Nuuk the Quote welcomes opened before the evidence window.

  2. Partially done

    Greenland participates in its own name in the Arctic Allies' joint statement, which recognizes "the importance of economic and resource development in the Arctic" and tasks coordination on research security, investment screening and critical infrastructure.
