Trump’s former national security advisor, John Bolton, has revealed that it was billionaire Ronald Lauder who planted the idea of ’buying’ Greenland in Donald Trump’s mind. Now, the 81-year-old Lauder has invested in Greenland himself.
Ronald Lauder, heir to the fortune of cosmetics giant Estée Lauder, has used a small portion of his vast wealth to buy into two smaller Greenlandic companies with big ambitions.
One of them, Greenland Water Bank, has a license to tap mineral water from Lyngmarkskilden in Qeqertarsuaq on the southern tip of Disko Island. It is sold in Greenland under the brand Imivik.
Until this year, the two Greenlandic businessmen Svend Hardenberg and Jørgen Wæver Johansen each owned half of the company, but now they have sold a share to a group of investors, including Ronald Lauder, according to Svend Hardenberg.
These two Greenlandic businessmen Both have close political contacts in Greenland. Until 2015, Svend Hardenberg was a powerful and controversial permanent secretary for the Greenlandic prime minister until he was suddenly fired. Jørgen Wæver Johansen was elected to Greenland’s parliament in 1999 and has held four ministerial posts. He is currently the local chairman of the ruling party Siumut in Nuuk and is married to fellow party member Vivian Motzfeldt, who is the minister for foreign affairs, business, and trade.
It seem that American infiltration operation on Greenland has begun with the purchase of two influential figures in Greenlandic politics.
