Greenpeace Renames NZ PM Luxon's Office 'Trump War Minerals HQ'
Greenpeace activists oppose a proposed minerals deal with the US, citing environmental harm and military uses of critical minerals, backed by over 13,000 petition signatures.
- Today, Greenpeace activists claimed responsibility for a protest outside Prime Minister and Botany MP Christopher Luxon's Botany electorate office, placing images of President Donald Trump and US flags outside the building.
- Reporting shows the US is pressing for a 'US-New Zealand Critical Minerals Framework' amid US threats and discussions with over 40 countries, despite Luxon saying talks are at a 'very preliminary stage'.
- Campaigners pointed to military uses of identified minerals, using vanadium off Taranaki as an example, while Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner Juressa Lee warned the deal would cause irreversible harm to land and sea.
- Luxon's office said the matter is with police, and police confirmed they have been contacted, urging anyone with information to update online or call 105 with reference 7764, while over 13,000 people signed a Greenpeace petition.
- Today, Pacific advocates warn the US-New Zealand Critical Minerals Framework could deepen militarisation, with documents indicating it may unlock US funding and an $80 million exploration fund amid $2.4 trillion in global military spending.
