Just months after President Donald Trump began publicly insisting the United States should secure Greenland, some of the richest men on the planet quietly moved to stake their claim on the island’s wealth — a fact that should make every American taxpayer sit up and pay attention. Forbes reports that names like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg funneled money into ventures looking for Greenland’s critical minerals soon after Trump put the island back on the map.
This is not vague hedge-fund chatter: the AI-driven miner KoBold Metals — backed by the likes of Gates and Bezos — closed a massive $537 million funding round that values the company at roughly $3 billion, money explicitly aimed at unlocking the minerals that power our tech and defense industries. That kind of capital flow into strategic commodities is exactly why national security-minded leaders have been warning about dependence on foreign supply chains.
KoBold hasn’t been shy about where it intends to hunt for those minerals. The company signed an agreement to pour exploration dollars into Greenland projects, including a deal to bankroll the Disko-Nuussuaq project in exchange for a controlling stake in exploration rights. In plain terms, private interests are moving to map and monetize Greenland’s resources while the strategic implications swirl around Washington and NATO.
Meanwhile, the plot thickens at the intersection of money and politics. Reports show that Ronald Lauder — the wealthy businessman who helped seed the idea to Trump back in 2018 — has himself invested in Greenlandic businesses, including a bottled-water venture linked to local political figures, raising uncomfortable questions about influence and access. Americans deserve transparency when foreign territories and political favors get mixed with private gain.
President Trump has been blunt: “We need Greenland” from a national security standpoint, and the White House has even acknowledged the military remains an option to secure U.S. interests if necessary — language that puts the stakes in stark relief for anyone paying attention. European leaders rushed to defend Danish sovereignty, but the reality is simple: whoever controls critical minerals and Arctic bases holds leverage in any future great-power contest.
Patriots should welcome a bold, strategic approach to protecting America’s future, but we should be equally wary of billionaire cartels cozying up to territory and resources that could determine technological and military advantage for decades. When elites who champion globalist climate schemes also buy options on the very minerals needed for green technology, their motives deserve scrutiny, not applause.
Washington must act like a government that puts its people first: secure supply lines, insist on transparent deals that benefit American industry and workers, and ensure Greenland’s people are treated with respect and dignity — not used as pawns in a transatlantic game of extraction and influence. If our leaders fail to protect those national interests while billionaires quietly chart a course to profit, then we will have forfeited both our strategic advantage and the future prosperity of hardworking Americans.
