Donald Trump has renewed a push to buy Greenland, citing strategic access to rare earths and new diplomatic initiatives. He has proposed a board of peace and is actively onboarding countries to the effort, a move that could reshape mineral and tech supply chains (Ed. note: Greenland reported near-zero rare earth production in 2025).
Estimates put Greenland’s rare earth reserves at about 1.5 million metric tons, ranking it eighth worldwide, with as much as $5 trillion in natural resources. Purchase scenarios note major economic implications for technology and defense supply lines.
The U.S. dollar has softened to multi-month lows while gold and silver rally, a dynamic linked to recent tariff moves. Peter Schiff tweeted “By the end of the year, holders of U.S. dollar–denominated assets and cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, will be substantially poorer than they are today. In contrast, holders of non-dollar–denominated assets and precious metals will be significantly richer. Which will you be?”
Global stock focus is shifting toward technology and energy firms as data-center demand grows. An analyst warned “The energy sector is gearing up to be one of the most dynamic arenas in the coming years, fueled by an explosive surge in demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and industrial growth. Global electricity use is projected to rise by 3.3% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, driven largely by power-hungry data centers that could see their consumption double by 2030, from around 448 TWh to 980 TWh worldwide.”
