Описание: In the days since the United States attacked Venezuela, Donald Trump has ramped up his threats to take over Greenland, the minerals-rich Danish territory in the Arctic.

Greenland holds one of the world's largest untapped deposits of the critical rare earth minerals, an ingredient found in a wide range of modern technology from personal gadgets to defense weaponry.
