Greenland has issued a strong warning to a Texas oil firm tied to President Donald Trump after it landed Arctic drilling equipment without approval, renewing scrutiny of US ambitions for the semi-autonomous territory and the company's vast crude claims.
The equipment belongs to Greenland Energy, a Houston company set up last year whose chairman and major shareholder, Larry Swets, is reported to be close to the president. Residents in the remote Jameson Land region on Greenland's eastern coast spotted a tug boat towing a barge that unloaded about a dozen containers last month.
