ʻO ka mea hoʻomohala nui loa o ka lua honua laha ʻole ma Greenland: Ua hoʻoikaika nā luna o ʻAmelika a me Denemaka i ka makahiki i hala ʻaʻole e kūʻai aku i ka lua honua laha ʻole ʻo Tambliz i nā ʻoihana Kina
[Kikokikona/Pūnaewele Nānā Xiong Chaoran]
Inā paha i kona kau mua ma ke keʻena a i ʻole i hala koke aku nei, ua hoʻonui mau ka Pelekikena i koho ʻia ʻo Trump i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "kūʻai ʻana iā Greenland", a ua maopopo kāna mau manaʻo e pili ana i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe a me ke kūʻē ʻana me Kina.
Wahi a kahi hōʻike a Reuters ma Ianuali 9, manawa kūloko, ua hōʻike ʻo Greg Barnes, Luna Nui o Tanbreez Mining, ka mea hoʻomohala mineral honua laha nui loa ma Greenland, ua hoʻoikaika nā luna mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Denemaka i ka ʻoihana i ka makahiki i hala e kūʻai ʻole aku i kāna mau papahana i nā ʻoihana e pili ana iā Kina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua kūkākūkā mau kāna ʻoihana me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e loiloi i nā koho kālā no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mineral koʻikoʻi ma Greenland.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, ua kūʻai aku ʻo Barnes i ka kuleana o ka lua honua laha ʻo Tamblitz, kekahi o nā waihona honua laha nui loa o ka honua, iā Kritiko Metals, nona ke keʻena nui ma New York, USA. Wahi a ka hui ʻAmelika, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ke kumukūʻai kūʻai i uku ʻia ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana a ka hui Kina.
Manaʻo ka hōʻike e hōʻike ana kēia neʻe ʻana ua loaʻa i nā luna o ʻAmelika kahi hoihoi waiwai lōʻihi ma ka ʻāina kūʻokoʻa o Denemaka ma mua loa o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Trump e noʻonoʻo e loaʻa iā Greenland i nā pule i hala iho nei. Manaʻo pū nā mea loiloi e hoʻāʻo nei ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻololi i nā "lula o ka pāʻani" no nā papahana honua laha ʻole. Ke hoʻāʻo nei nā luna o ʻAmelika e hoʻopau i ka mana o Kina ma ke kāʻei keleawe ʻApelika waena waiwai i ka mineral ma o ka kaohi ʻana iā Greenland.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Barnes, ka Luna Nui o Tanbreez Mining pilikino, ua kipa aku nā luna o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hema o Greenland i ʻelua mau manawa i ka makahiki i hala, kahi i loaʻa ai ka papahana Tanbreez, kekahi o nā waihona honua laha nui loa o ka honua.
Ua huakaʻi pinepine kēia mau luna ʻAmelika i laila e hōʻike i kahi leka i ka Tamblitz Mining nele i ke kālā: Mai kūʻai aku i nā waihona minelala nui i nā mea kūʻai aku me ka pilina me Kina.
ʻAʻole hiki iā Reuters ke hoʻokaʻa koke aku i ke Keʻena Mokuʻāina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ka manaʻo e pili ana i ka hōʻike. ʻAʻole i pane mai ka Hale Paʻa i kahi noi no ka manaʻo a ua hōʻole ke Kuhina ʻĀina ʻē o Denemaka e ʻōlelo.
I ka hopena, ua kūʻai aku ʻo Barnes i ka kuleana o ka mine Tambriz iā Critical Metals ma New York ma kahi ʻaelike paʻakikī e hoʻopau ʻia ma hope o kēia makahiki, e hāʻawi ana iā Critical Metals i ka mana o kekahi o nā waihona honua laha nui loa o ka honua.
Wahi a ka ʻikepili mai ka Global Geological and Mineral Information System o ke Kuhina o nā Kumuwaiwai Kūlohelohe, ʻo ka nui o ka oxide honua laha ʻole (TREO) o ka papahana Tambliz he 28.2 miliona tone. Ma muli o kēia nui o nā kumuwaiwai, ʻo Tambliz kekahi o nā waihona honua laha nui loa o ka honua, me 4.7 biliona tone o ka ore. ʻO nā oxide honua laha ʻole kaumaha i loko o ka waihona he 27% o ka nui o nā oxide honua laha ʻole, a ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kumukūʻai o nā honua laha ʻole kaumaha ma mua o nā mea honua laha ʻole māmā. Ke hoʻokomo ʻia i ka hana ʻana, hiki i ka mine ke hoʻolako i nā mea honua laha ʻole e pono ai e ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. Ua kuhikuhi pū ka Financial Times ua manaʻo ʻia he 38.5 miliona tone o Greenland honua laha ʻole nā oxides, ʻoiai ʻo ka huina o nā waihona ma ke koena o ka honua he 120 miliona tons.
ʻOi aku ka hoihoi o ka ʻike i hōʻike ʻia e Tony Sage, Luna Nui o ka mea kūʻai hope loa, ʻo Cretico Metals.
"Nui ke kaomi ʻana e kūʻai ʻole aku iā (Tambriz Mining) iā Kina," wahi a Sage ua ʻae ʻo Barnes i $5 miliona ma ke kālā a me $211 miliona ma nā ʻāpana Kritiko Metals ma ke ʻano he uku no ka papahana, he kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa loa ia ma mua o ke noi a ka hui Kina.
Wahi a ka hōʻike, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Barnes ʻaʻole pili ka loaʻa ʻana i nā hāʻawi mai Kina a me nā mea ʻē aʻe no ka mea ʻaʻole i hōʻike maopopo ʻia nā hāʻawi pehea e uku ai. ʻAʻole i hōʻike ʻo Barnes a me Saich i nā luna o ʻAmelika a lākou i hālāwai ai a i ʻole ka inoa o ka hui Kina nāna i hāʻawi i ka hāʻawi.
I ka makahiki i hala, ua noi ʻo Kritiko Metals i ke Keʻena Pale Kaua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ke kālā e hoʻomohala i nā hale hana hana honua laha ʻole. ʻOiai ua kū kaʻina hana loiloi i kēia manawa, manaʻo ʻo Saich e hoʻomaka hou ke kaʻina hana ma hope o ka noho ʻana o Trump i ke keʻena. Ua hōʻike pū ʻo ia ua mālama kāna hui i nā kūkākūkā lako me ka ʻoihana pale kaua ʻo Lockheed Martin a ke kokoke nei e kūkākūkā me Raytheon lāua ʻo Boeing. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kolu o ka mea hoʻopukapuka kālā nui loa o Kritiko Metals ʻo ia ka American Jianda Company, nona ka CEO ʻo Howard Lutnick, ka mea i koho ʻia e Trump no ke Kakauolelo Kālepa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
He waiwai hoʻolālā koʻikoʻi ka honua laha ʻole i hiki ke hoʻohou hou ʻia, he huaʻōlelo laulā no 17 mau mea metala, i ʻike ʻia ʻo "industrial MSG", a ua huki nui ʻia ka manaʻo ma muli o kā lākou hoʻohana ākea ʻana ma nā kahua o ka ikehu a me ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe o ka pūʻali koa. Ua hōʻike mua kahi hōʻike noiʻi a ka ʻAhaʻōlelo o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ua hilinaʻi nui nā mea kaua ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā honua laha ʻole. No ka laʻana, pono i kahi mokulele hakakā F-35 he 417 kilokani o nā mea honua laha ʻole, ʻoiai ʻo kahi mokukaua nukelea e hoʻohana ana ma mua o 4 tone o ka honua laha ʻole.
Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Reuters ua hoʻāla ke koʻikoʻi a me ka pono o nā lepo laha ʻole i kahi hoʻokūkū ikaika ma waena o nā hui hoihoi Komohana e kūʻē iā Kina, e hoʻonāwaliwali i ka mana piha o Kina ma luna o ka hana ʻeli ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i nā lepo laha ʻole. ʻO Kina ka mea hana a me ka mea hoʻopuka aku i nā lepo laha ʻole ma ka honua, a ke kāohi nei i kahi 90% o ka lako lepo laha ʻole o ka honua. No laila, hopohopo nui kekahi mau ʻāina Komohana e like me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e "ʻū ʻia" lākou e Kina, a ua hoʻokau nei i ka mea nui i ka loaʻa ʻana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi kaulahao lako lepo laha ʻole hou.
Ua hōʻike ʻia ma ka hōʻike nā loiloi e ʻōlelo ana ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia nā papahana e like me Tambliz he mea hoihoi no ka hoʻopukapuka kālā ma mua, akā me he mea lā ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻololi i nā "lula o ka pāʻani" no nā papahana honua laha ʻole. ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana aku i ka kuleana o ka papahana Tambliz i kahi hui US e hōʻike ana e hoʻāʻo nei nā luna US e hoʻopau i ka mana o Kina ma ke kāʻei keleawe ʻApelika Waena waiwai i ka mineral ma o ka kaohi ʻana iā Greenland.
Ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Dwayne Menezes, ka luna hoʻokele o ka Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) ma Ladana, ʻoiai ke ʻōlelo nei ʻo Greenland ʻaʻole ia he "kūʻai ʻia aku," hoʻokipa ia i nā hana kālepa a me nā hoʻopukapuka kālā nui aʻe mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Aia ʻo Greenland ma ka ʻākau hikina o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ma waena o ke Kai ʻĀtika a me ke Kai ʻAkelanika. ʻO ia ka mokupuni nui loa ma ka honua me ka heluna kanaka ma kahi o 60,000. He kolone Denemaka ia i ka wā ma mua a ua hoʻokō i ke aupuni ponoʻī i ka makahiki 1979. Loaʻa iā ia kona ʻahaʻōlelo ponoʻī. ʻO kēia mokupuni, ka mea i uhi nui ʻia e ka hau, he waiwai nui nā waiwai kūlohelohe, a he nui nō hoʻi nā waihona ʻaila a me ke kinoea kūlohelohe ma uka a ma waho. He kūʻokoʻa ka mokupuni, akā na Denemaka e hana i kāna kulekele haole a me nā hoʻoholo palekana.
I ʻAukake 2019, ua hōʻike ʻia ua kūkākūkā malū ʻo Pelekikena Trump o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa me nā kākāʻōlelo no ke kūʻai ʻana iā Greenland, kahi ʻāina kūʻokoʻa o Denemaka, akā ua hōʻole ke Kuhina ʻĀina ʻē o Greenland ʻo Ane Lone Bagger i ka manaʻo: "Ua wehe mākou no ka ʻoihana, akā ʻaʻole 'no ke kūʻai aku' ʻo Greenland."
Ma Nowemapa 25, 2024, ua paʻi ʻo Alexander B. Gray, he hoa kiʻekiʻe ma ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā o nā ʻĀina ʻĒ o ʻAmelika (AFPC) a he luna hoʻomalu mua o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā Palekana Lahui o ka Hale Paʻa ma ka hoʻokele ʻana o Trump, i kahi ʻatikala manaʻo ma ka Wall Street Journal e ʻōlelo ana ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna kau ʻelua, pono ʻo Trump e hoʻomau i kāna ʻoihana i pau ʻole - ke kūʻai ʻana iā Greenland.
Manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Gray e "makemake ʻo Greenland e kūʻokoʻa" a ua "makemake ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa iā ia no ka manawa lōʻihi", akā ʻo ke kumu nui loa ʻo Kina a me Rusia. Ua hoʻolaha nui ʻo ia e pono i nā hana a Kina a me Rusia ma ka ʻāina ʻo Arctic i nā makahiki i hala iho nei ke "hopohopo nui", ʻoiai he waiwai nui ko Greenland i nā waiwai kūlohelohe e like me ke gula, ke kālā, ke keleawe, ka ʻaila, ka uranium, a me nā minelala honua laha ʻole, "kahi e hāʻawi ai i nā manawa kūpono no nā hoa paio", a ʻaʻole hiki iā Greenland ke hakakā hoʻokahi.
No kēia hopena, ua manaʻo ʻo ia e pono iā Trump ke hoʻokō i kēia "kuʻikahi o ke kenekulia" e pale aku i nā hoʻoweliweli i ka palekana Komohana a me nā pono waiwai. Ua moeʻuhane pū ʻo ia e hiki iā ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke hoʻāʻo e hoʻohālike i ka "Compact of Free Association" i hiki ai me nā ʻāina mokupuni o ka Pākīpika Hema a hoʻokumu i kahi pilina i kapa ʻia ʻo "ʻāina pili manuahi" me Greenland.
E like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, ʻaʻole hiki iā Trump ke kali e hoʻohiki kūhelu ʻia a ua hoʻoweliweli ʻo ia e "loaʻa iā Greenland" i nā manawa he nui. Ma Ianuali 7, manawa kūloko, ua lilo nā hoʻoweliweli a Trump e hoʻohana i ka ikaika e kāohi iā Greenland i poʻomanaʻo nui ma nā pāpāho nui a puni ka honua. Ma kāna haʻiʻōlelo ma Mar-a-Lago, ua hōʻole ʻo ia e kāpae i ka hiki ke "kāohi i ke Kahawai Panama a me Greenland ma o ka hoʻokau kaua a i ʻole ka hoʻokele waiwai." I ka lā hoʻokahi, ua kipa pilikino aku ke keiki hiapo a Trump, ʻo Donald Trump Jr., i Greenland.
Ua wehewehe ʻo Reuters i ke ʻano o nā ʻōlelo a Trump e hōʻike ana e alualu ʻo ia i kahi kulekele haole kūʻē e hoʻowahāwahā ana i nā ʻano diplomatika kuʻuna.
I ka pane ʻana i ka hoʻoweliweli a Trump i ka ikaika, ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina Nui Denemaka ʻo Mette Frederiksen i loko o kahi ninaninau me ka pāpāho Denemaka ʻo TV2 ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ka "hoa pili loa a pili loa" o Denemaka a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻoʻiʻo e hoʻohana ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā ʻano koa a i ʻole nā mea hoʻokele waiwai e hōʻoia i ka mana ma luna o Greenland. Ua haʻi hou ʻo ia e hoʻokipa ana ʻo ia i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻokomo i ka hoihoi hou aku ma ka ʻāina ʻo Arctic, akā "pono e hana ʻia kēia ma ke ʻano e mahalo ai i ka poʻe o Greenland."
"Ua maopopo loa ke kumu hoʻomaka o ke aupuni: na ka poʻe Greenland e hoʻoholo i ka wā e hiki mai ana o Greenland, a no ka poʻe Greenland ʻo Greenland," i hoʻokūpaʻa ai ʻo Frederiksen.
"E ʻae mai iaʻu e ʻōlelo hou aku, no ka poʻe Greenland ʻo Greenland. ʻO ko kākou wā e hiki mai ana a me ko kākou hakakā no ke kūʻokoʻa kā kākou ʻoihana." Ma Ianuali 7, manawa kūloko, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mute Bourup Egede, ke Kuhina Nui o ke Aupuni Kūʻokoʻa o Greenland, ma nā pāpili kaiapili: "ʻOiai he kuleana ko kekahi poʻe, me nā Danes a me nā ʻAmelika, e hōʻike i ko lākou mau manaʻo, ʻaʻole pono kākou e hoʻohuli ʻia e ka fanaticism a i ʻole e ʻae i ke kaomi o waho e koi iā kākou e haʻalele i ko kākou ala. No kākou ka wā e hiki mai ana a na kākou e hoʻoponopono." Ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo Egede e hana ana kāna aupuni no ka hoʻokaʻawale hope ʻana o Greenland mai Denemaka.
