Instead of trying to fight Denmark over the purchase of Greenland there is a way to "Have our cake and eat it too". The US could negotiate a Treaty directly with the Prime Minister of Greenland. The Treaty could include the following: establish more military bases with missle launch sites and tracking stations (the US already has an Air Force Base and Space Force base in Greenland) to bolster our strategic defense priorities. Second, the Treaty would allow US companies to start mining rare earth metals and Uranium as well as oil and natural gas in Greenland. This would create high-paying jobs for the citizens of Greenland. The Treaty could include a clause that would prohibit any country other than the US and Denmark to do any mining in Greenland. That would remove the Chinese from mining in Greenland. The Treaty would also include some type of monetary compensation to the Greenland government. Negotiating this Treaty would probably be faster and easier than trying to buy Greenland.
Very nice presentation. Suspected mineral resources. Wasn't aware that Denmark was mismanaging things so badly.
Which is weird because they are a very rich and well mannaged natural resource country
Although it sounds strange at first, it's strategically important.
Also, it will pay for itself.
Interesting. What are the downsides of US Ownership?
Greenland has mineral rich and is geographically important

And by the way, we saved Denmarks ass in WW11, so I’m not sure how they can out maneuver us.
Trump raised the issue of Greenland because he was being trolled as VP to Elon Musk.
No... he raised it last time he was president as well.
