I always understood it as trump wanting the natural resources that Greenland has, along with it being positioned in a future ultra strategic location for arctic trade. like if the polar ice caps melt in the summer then countries close to the north pole will be able to send more ships easily, making any land around chokepoints in this trade more valuable - like Greenland
not saying I like any of this stuff, but this is what I've heard
Every piece of land can be useful. US's current friendship with/lordship over NATO would get any project it wants done, and allow any shipments/trade routes to/from America. Project value is overblown due to high development costs and distance to markets.
The reason you will hear economics and defense from enemies motives, is that is the sweetest sounding lie. It would increase the purchase price if Denmark citizens knew that Denmark government and its king are selling to US to improve its capabilities to murder all Danes.
