Miguel Afonso Caetano"President Donald Trump has grabbed headlines with his vow to acquire Greenland — by force if necessary. Behind the scenes, a handful of Trump’s former employees and staffers have been pursuing business interests involving the Arctic territory.
Former employees who sought or are seeking opportunities include George Sorial, the former executive vice president and chief compliance counsel of the Trump Organization. Also in the group is Trump Organization’s former director of security, Keith Schiller, who ran Oval Office operations in the White House during Trump’s first term. Both men have an interest in company called GreenMet.
In April 2025, GreenMet announced it had inked a strategic partnership with Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S, a company holding a license to mine rare earth minerals. GreenMet described Tanbreez as the “only shovel ready rare earth project in Greenland.”
GreenMet is the trade name of Greentech Minerals Holdings Inc. Sorial and Schiller appear in Washington D.C. corporate registry documents among the beneficial owners of the company, along with Drew Horn, who is listed as the CEO. Horn was an aide to Trump's first-term vice president, Mike Pence, and was a national security official during that administration."
