Trump Threatens Greenland, Loses $20 Trillion Economy Instead

11th January 2026

If you have 15 minutes to watch this video you will probably learn more about Donald Trumps threats, rare earths and who can really use them. Europe has a lot of the cards. American companies may not be able to either mine rare earths in Greenland let alone process them as China has most of the worlds processing outlets.

The time line to develop processing facilities is beyond the reach of even a rich country like USA.

Plenty to think about as Europe changes the game and Trump alienates another ally.
