Greenlander Takes Helm of Arctic Council as Tensions Simmer
When Kenneth Hoegh, a native Greenlander, thinks about the Arctic these days, he tries to focus on the common ground between countries rather than the increasingly fraught political relationships among Arctic nations — including between his own territory and the United States.
It's a difficult but essential mindset as he steps up to lead the operations of the Arctic Council, the preeminent body tasked with maintaining multilateral cooperation in the Arctic. Hoegh, who is also the Kingdom of Denmark's Arctic ambassador, is taking over as chair of the council's senior Arctic officials, diplomats who guide its activities.

Hundreds of U.S. citizens have fled Iran amid Israeli strikes
Hundreds of U.S. citizens have left Iran through its land borders since the start of Israel's deadly assault on the country last week, according to a State Department cable circulated to diplomats Friday and obtained by The Washington Post. The cable marks a rare, if private, admission by the U.S. government that large numbers of Americans are in harm's way as President Donald Trump ruminates whether the United States will join Israel's campaign to eradicate Iran's nuclear program. These citizens are at risk not only from Israeli strikes, which local authorities claim have killed hundreds of civilians, but also from the Iranian regime itself. The cable notes that multiple U.S. citizens trying to flee have encountered 'delays and harassment' from Iranian authorities and that there are a small number of unconfirmed reports of Americans being detained and imprisoned. The cable said U.S. diplomats were tracking these reports closely. Separately, the cable noted that Turkmenistan, which shares a long border with Iran, had not approved more than 100 requests from the Embassy in Ashgabat for U.S. citizens to enter the country. The State Department was now advising U.S. citizens within Iran to find different routes to leave the country, the cable noted. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the cable. A spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, told reporters Friday that the Trump administration does not intend to offer 'direct U.S.-government-assisted departure' from Iran. Americans seeking departure 'should take advantage of existing means to leave,' she said. Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York and the Turkmenistan Embassy in Washington also did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It is not known how many U.S. citizens are in Iran, but in the past U.S. officials have estimated the number is in the thousands. Bruce told reporters that 25,000 people have received information and support from the State Department amid hostilities in Israel, the West Bank and Iran. The Iranian government has a history of targeting foreign citizens and dual nationals, arresting them under flimsy pretenses to use them as bargaining chips in diplomatic negotiations, according to human rights groups. There's a real danger that dual nationals could end up in the 'crosshairs of the conflict,' said Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. 'There's a real risk they might be stopped, questioned and then detained on bogus charges like espionage. American dual nationals are the most vulnerable, given the looming possibility of the U.S. entering the war,' said Dagres. The United States has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980, the year after a revolution there led to the installation of a theocratic regime and a dramatic 444-day-long hostage crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Switzerland has acted as a protecting power for the United States in Iran, with the Swiss Embassy in Tehran hosting a U.S. Interests Section that informally represents Washington in Iran. The Swiss government announced Friday that it was temporarily closing its embassy due to the conflict, stating that the Ambassador Nadine Olivieri Lozano had been in the last group of diplomats to leave the country and would arrive in Azerbaijan on Friday evening. 'Switzerland will continue to act as an intermediary transmitting communications between the US and Iran as and when both parties consider appropriate,' the Swiss government said in a statement. In a public travel advisory updated on Friday, the State Department said that U.S. citizens should 'not travel to Iran for any reason and should depart Iran immediately if they are there.' Those unable to leave 'should be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods.' The fate of hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens across the Middle East has been put at risk since June 13, when the Israeli government launched a widespread attack on the Iranian state, targeting senior government and military officials, along with the country's nuclear scientists, in what it said was a means to cripple the country's nuclear program. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in response. It has threatened to target U.S. interests in the Middle East if the United States joins the conflict on Israel's side. The United States has said it is still seeking a diplomatic end to the conflict. However, Trump has given the talks a timeline of up to two weeks to produce a breakthrough deemed suitable to the American leader. In Israel, where an estimated 700,000 U.S. citizens live, the local embassy has taken on a prominent role in helping Americans flee the country. 'We're working to get military, commercial, charter flights & cruise ships' for evacuations, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee wrote on social media Thursday. 'If you're offered a seat, take it.' According to an internal email sent to staff on Friday, the State Department is seeking volunteers to greet embassy colleagues returning from Israel and Iraq to Dulles Airport outside D.C. over the next few days, noting that the first chartered flight of returnees from the region had arrived at 4 a.m. Thursday. Though the flights were primarily for embassy staff, the email noted that other U.S. citizens may be on separate flights. The next chartered flight, traveling from Israel, was expected Friday evening and may include up to 38 pets, the email said.

Mineral-rich Greenland says it doesn't want to become a great mining nation. Here's why
Greenland has little interest in harnessing its massive resource potential to become a top mining country. The world's largest island has been thrust into the geopolitical spotlight in recent months, with U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly saying that Washington should control the autonomous Danish territory — even refusing to rule out the use of military or economic force. Trump's pursuit of Greenland comes as mining executives describe the race for the Arctic island's largely untapped extractable resources as an "enormous opportunity." However, Greenland's harsh climate, remote landscape and lack of infrastructure have all been cited as barriers to the island's strategic potential. Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland's minister for business and mineral resources, told CNBC that exploiting some of the territory's highly prized minerals is "absolutely possible and viable," noting that several mining projects are already underway. "We do have projects underway that I think are very promising: graphite, gold, copper, nickel molybdenum and so on. Rare earths as well," Nathanielsen told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Friday. "But for Greenland, we are not necessarily interested in becoming a really great mining country. We just really want 5 or 10 active mines at any given time," Nathanielsen said. "We are a very small population so, for us, we don't need the entire country to be covered in mines. We are happy with managing a few and I think that is feasible," she added. Greenland has long pitched itself as a Western alternative to China's near monopoly on rare earth elements. Indeed, a 2023 survey by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) found that 25 of the 34 minerals recognized as critical raw materials by the European Commission were found in Greenland. These minerals include graphite, molybdenum and titanium, all of which are expected to play a key role in the pivot to more sustainable energy sources. Earlier this week, mining development firm Critical Metals Corporation announced it had received a letter of interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for a loan worth up to $120 million to fund the firm's Tanbreez rare earths mine in southern Greenland. Notably, the funding package marked the Trump administration's first overseas investment in a mining project. Greenland authorities also recently approved a 30-year mining permit to a Danish-French mining group to exploit anorthosite, a rock rich in aluminum, at a site in western Greenland. Separately, Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Greenland-focused mining company Amaroq, described Greenland as "an amazing country" to operate in. "The geology is such that Greenland has traveled around the world through a geological time and gone everywhere — which means that it has an exposure to most mineral resources," Olafsson told CNBC's "Europe Early Edition" on Thursday. "It has a fantastic jurisdiction in relation to regulation. It is based on Nordic principles and law," he added. Asked how the prospect of the U.S. purchasing Greenland could impact the firm's operations and outlook, Olafsson said Greenland's destiny is for Greenlanders to choose. "In the end, I think Greenland will become most likely an independent state, supported by the Nordic countries and supported by the U.S., just like Iceland was," Olafsson said. Greenland's Nathanielsen said the territory has "very high" environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, in part because of its previous issues with mining pollution. "I think the people of Greenland really support the mining industry, which is quite kind of rare when you look at other jurisdictions. But they do so because they have faith in us having a high environmental standard and taking care of local communities," Nathanielsen said. "And if we start to fold on that, we will also lose the people's support of this industry. For us it is really important. So, I think we have learned from the past," she added.

Greenland Awards Permit for Metal Critical to Defense Industry
Greenland has given permission to a Canadian mining company to explore for molybdenum, a metal critical to the production of steel, amid growing demand from the defense industry. The Arctic island and its mineral riches have this year become hot geopolitical topics after Donald Trump's persistent requests to take over the territory, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. At the same time, the European Union has identified Greenland as a strategic area of interest as the continent tries to become less dependent on the import of raw materials.
