That strategic importance has pushed Greenland into the geopolitical spotlight and has been one of the factors behind U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans to acquire the territory.Trump has since then softened his stance on Greenland, saying he would not pursue a takeover by force or impose tariffs on countries that opposed him.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Austrian Mine Permit Secured</h2>Separately, Critical Metals said the Austrian government has renewed the Wolfsberg lithium mining license for two years.
