格陵兰岛虽被冰雪覆盖，但其地表之下可能蕴藏着对全球经济至关重要的资源——包括稀土矿物、镍、铜、钯、钴、石油和天然气。这座北极岛屿的地理位置同样宝贵。
Greenland may be covered in ice, but beneath its surface could be resources critical to the global economy — including rare earth minerals, nickel, copper, palladium, cobalt, oil and natural gas. The Arctic island’s location is just as valuable.
格陵兰岛位于北美和欧洲之间，处于关键的军事和航运航线上。随着乌克兰和伊朗的冲突暴露出全球能源和供应链的脆弱性，该岛对美国和其他世界强国的重要性日益凸显。
Positioned between North America and Europe, Greenland sits along key military and shipping routes. As conflicts in Ukraine and Iran expose vulnerabilities in global energy and supply chains, the island has become increasingly important to the United States and other world powers.
为何特朗普盯上格陵兰岛——这座世界上最大、大部分被冰覆盖的岛屿——三张图解析 这些因素有助于解释为何唐纳德·特朗普总统多年来一直推动加强美国对格陵兰岛的控制和影响力，以及为何其政府最近与丹麦和格陵兰岛达成了一项新的安全协议。
WHY TRUMP ZEROED IN ON GREENLAND, THE WORLD’S LARGEST ISLAND, MOSTLY COVERED IN ICE — IN 3 CHARTS Those factors help explain why President Donald Trump has spent years pushing for greater American control and influence in Greenland and why his administration recently reached a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland.
特朗普在联合国大会期间签署的这项协议，将扩大美国在该岛的军事存在，同时保持格陵兰岛在丹麦主权之下。以下是格陵兰岛成为世界上最具战略重要性地点之一的三大原因。
The deal, which Trump signed on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, will expand the U.S. military presence on the island while keeping Greenland under Danish sovereignty. Here are three reasons Greenland has become one of the world’s most strategically important places.
美国正寻求减少对中国和俄罗斯在电子、电池、能源基础设施和国防技术所用关键矿产的依赖。"我们不想在稀土矿产上依赖中国，也不想依赖俄罗斯，"格陵兰能源公司首席执行官兼USFM公司总裁罗伯特·普赖斯对福克斯新闻数字版表示。
The United States is seeking to reduce its dependence on China and Russia for critical minerals used in electronics, batteries, energy infrastructure and defense technology. "We don’t want to be dependent on China for our rare earth minerals, and we don’t want to be dependent on Russia for them either," Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company and president of USFM Corporation, told Fox News Digital.
FLOURISH CHART EMBED HERE: 30309299 普赖斯的USFM正在勘探格陵兰岛西部迪斯科岛周围的镍、铜、钯和钴矿床。他表示，该地区最终可能媲美俄罗斯矿产丰富的诺里尔斯克地区，尽管随着钻探工作的继续，其潜力仍未得到证实。
FLOURISH CHART EMBED HERE: 30309299 Price’s USFM is exploring nickel, copper, palladium and cobalt deposits around Disko Island in western Greenland. He said the region could eventually rival Russia’s mineral-rich Norilsk district, though its potential remains unproven as drilling continues.
格陵兰的潜在财富不仅限于矿产。普赖斯的格陵兰能源公司正在申请许可，计划于2027年在该岛东部钻探一口探井，他表示那里的地质类似于产油的北海。"我们的许可证涉及的石油系统与北海相似，"普赖斯说，并补充称公司已在表面及地下采集到石油样本。
Greenland’s potential riches extend beyond minerals. Price’s Greenland Energy Company is pursuing permits for an exploratory oil well planned for 2027 on the island’s eastern side, where he said the geology resembles the petroleum-producing North Sea. "Our licenses are similar to the same petroleum system as the North Sea," Price said, adding that the company has sampled oil on and below the surface.
特朗普雄心勃勃的能源押注或成制胜筹码，因世界燃烧的石油和天然气创历史新高 该项目推进之际，伊朗战争扰乱全球能源市场，并威胁霍尔木兹海峡的航运安全，该海峡是全球石油供应的关键命脉。"我们在格陵兰勘探石油的原因之一，正是霍尔木兹海峡当前发生的局势，"普赖斯说。
TRUMP'S AMBITIOUS ENERGY BET COULD BE A WINNING HAND AS THE WORLD BURNS MORE OIL, GAS THAN EVER The project comes as the Iran war disrupts global energy markets and threatens shipping through the Strait of Hormuz a critical artery for the world’s oil supply. "One of the reasons that we are exploring for oil in Greenland is because of what’s going on in the Strait of Hormuz right now," Price said.
格陵兰的油气潜力尚未得到证实，还需要额外的许可、勘探和投资。
Greenland’s oil and gas potential remains unproven and would require additional permits, exploration and investment.
格陵兰的战略价值还源于其地理位置，位于北美和欧洲之间，靠近连接美国、俄罗斯和欧洲的关键空中、海上和导弹航线。
Greenland’s strategic value also comes from its location between North America and Europe, near key air, sea and missile routes connecting the United States, Russia and Europe.
美国在该岛保持军事存在已有数十年。皮图菲克太空基地（原图勒空军基地）是国防部最北端的设施，支持导弹预警、导弹防御和空间监视。
The U.S. has maintained a military presence on the island for decades. Pituffik Space Base, formerly known as Thule Air Base, is the northernmost Defense Department installation and supports missile warning, missile defense and space surveillance.
北极冰层融化正在开辟新航运航线，并增加了美国、俄罗斯和中国的兴趣。
Melting Arctic ice is opening new shipping routes and increasing interest from the United States, Russia and China.
据政府方面称，特朗普与丹麦及格陵兰达成的协议将扩大美国军事存在，同时保留丹麦主权。普赖斯表示，该协议还可能增强投资者对长期油气和矿产项目的信心。"它的作用是巩固对格陵兰的长期投资，而这正是我们项目的性质，"普赖斯说。"它们是来自石油、天然气和矿产的长期投资。"
Trump’s agreement with Denmark and Greenland would expand the U.S. military presence while preserving Danish sovereignty, according to the administration. Price said the deal could also boost investor confidence in long-term oil, gas and mineral projects. "What it does is it shores up long-term investment in Greenland, and that’s what our projects are," Price said. "They’re long-term investments from oil, gas and minerals."
