Trump says oil, gas and mineral exploration in Greenland is set to begin. It’s not that simple - BNN Bloomberg

Gracelin Baskaran, founding director at the critical minerals security program at the CSIS, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss tapping Greenland's rare earth potent U. S. President Donald Trump said that “massive” oil, gas and mineral exploration is set to begin in “our new and beautiful Greenland,” though it wasn’t clear what developments he was referring to on an island where resource extraction has stymied companies for decades. Despite Trump’s optimism, the harsh climate of Greenland -- a self-governing territory of Denmark, rather than a part of the United States -- as well as a lack of infrastructure have foiled all previous attempts to extract so-called rare earth minerals, as well as oil and gas. No efforts have ever progressed beyond the exploratory stage, and a moratorium on new gas and oil permits has been in place for several years. “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform following a campaign event Tuesday in Wasilla, Alaska. Trump was stumping for Republican U. S. Sen.

'They didn't give a s---': Pro slams LIV players trying to make DP World Tour return | News - GOLF.com

Joost Luiten is not happy with the possbility of LIV players returning to the DP World Tour. The DP World Tour’s decision to ban LIV Golf pros from its tournaments in 2027 was a win for those who wish to see LIV end. And the European circuit stands to benefit from an influx of LIV stars as a result of that decision. But not everyone on the DP World/PGA Tour side of golf’s civil war is happy with the outcome. Joost Luiten is one of those people. In a new interview with Today’s Golfer, the 40-year-old, six-time DP World Tour winner unloaded on LIV Golf pros hoping to return to the DP World Tour, and on the DP World Tour itself. Joost Luiten on DP World Tour’s LIV decision: ‘Why give them invites?’As LIV Golf continues its bankruptcy proceedings, many of its players are eyeing a DP World Tour return in 2027. With its recent decision, the DP World Tour has made it simple for them to do so (provided they’ve paid outstanding fines). All they need to do is not sign up with LIV 2.0. The path back to the PGA Tour for former LIV pros is much more difficult: serve a one-year ban and then qualify like anyone else.

Two container ships sink near strait of Hormuz amid surge in Iranian attacks - The Guardian

Two container ships near the strait of Hormuz have ⁠sunk after being struck by missiles, amid the sharpest rise in Iranian attacks on shipping since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran. The increase in attacks suggests Iran is trying to fully close the strategic waterway in an attempt to frustrate Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down fuel prices before the US midterm elections on 3 November. The Trump administration has been attempting to deflect attention from the economic impact of the war on Iran by blaming Ukraine’s attacks on Russian refineries for increased fuel prices. On Wednesday, UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported at least five incidents including drone strikes in the previous 48 hours targeting tankers and other commercial ships around the Hormuz area. “There is a tempo increase in strikes, which looks deliberate,” one maritime security source said. The Singapore-flagged ​container ‌ship GFS Pride sank on Wednesday after an attack the previous day. Hours later, the Antigua- and Barbuda-flagged Cape Dao sank close to the strait, having been hit by a ​projectile ​on 23 September, according to data from ‌the ‌International Maritime Organization.

Why Trump is likely to join Saudi war against Houthis - Responsible Statecraft

For myriad obvious reasons, President Donald Trump has so far resisted calls from Saudi Arabia to assist in its fight with the Houthis, even as the militant group has been striking — literally — at the heart of the Kingdom's oil and tourism industries all week. First, the U. S. can hardly afford another front in its current Middle East war. We know Pentagon munitions stockpiles are depleted, and our main asset in the region, the U. S. Navy, is stretched thin trying to manage its blockade against Iran and helping to shuttle non-sanctioned shipping through the Strait of Hormuz (which is not going as well as the White House was boasting a week ago). Second, politically, Trump cannot afford to launch another war ahead of the midterms, especially if it is not guaranteed to be successful. His first escalation against the Houthis in 2025 failed, and he was forced to call a ceasefire. The Yemeni resistance group, also known as Ansar Allah, has only gotten stronger since. But the pressure is on, and Annelle Sheline, research fellow at the Quincy Institute's Middle East program, says it is likely that Trump will be forced to get involved sooner than later.
