It seems to me that Trump wants the minerals that may be under Greenland's ice. Which we could just pay for. Or ask Denmark to allow US companies to drill for - and they would say yes. Just like they allowed thousands of US forces to be deployed there during the Cold War.
The Danes have said yes to everything we have ever asked of them.
The whole thing makes no sense at all.
