Oil Company With Ties to President Biden Prepares to Drill Greenland, Which Officials Stress Is a Coincidence of Geology

NUUK — An oil company with financial ties to President Biden's circle is preparing to sink its first exploratory wells in Greenland, the strategically located island the administration has spent two years describing as vital to national security for reasons unrelated, officials emphasize, to anything beneath it.

The company describes the timing as fortunate. Ethics watchdogs describe it as familiar. The Press describes it as Tuesday.

Voters who spent years warning that the other party ran government as a family business inspected the arrangement and found it, on reflection, to be different, for reasons they are confident exist and will locate shortly. Voters who had previously located those reasons for the other side offered to lend them out, gently used.

The administration noted that all applicable ethics reviews would be followed, a sentence with a perfect attendance record at these announcements across five administrations of both parties.

Drilling is expected to begin next season, pending permits from officials appointed by the people the permits concern. The Press will report the results from a distance, which is where the receipts live.
