57k people in the entire country. Doesn't seem like a great idea when Trump is talking about annexation and they're sitting on trillions in natural resources... Unless you're amenable to being annexed. Pretty sure the US is getting a new territory.
While it would certainly be nice if they were independent and stayed independent... yeah... America's whole thing is colonizing vast swathes of land.
The majority (like 89%) are Inuit, it’d be nice if both the USA and Denmark could leave them alone.
Give Greenland a nuke!
Greenland already has a Nuuk!
Give them another one Xi 
Wait only 57,000 people live there? There's more people living in the suburbs where I grew up.
Yeah, I had to double and triple check the numbers. It makes sense, it's not exactly a life friendly environment.
they’re sitting on trillions in natural resources…
I mean those resources are going to land in US pockets with 99% probablility anyway, so they might be hoping for at least some control and getting bribed on national scale, like Saudis, but even more since there's much less of them.
I was at an arctic conference in 2018, and there were a few talks about Greenland which seemed weirdly focused on China investing in their resources. So it is possible that Trump is aware of this and wants to wrest control from Chai-nah. Though I don't know how the situation has evolved since then.
I very much doubt if China want to contend with USA right under their nose, but it's certainly possible that US is fearing that scenario.
From Denmark's vassal to Amerikkka's vassal. Brilliant play.
From Denmark's vassal to China's ally 
"The Greenlanders along with the Chinese make up a sixth of the world's population."
I'd be willing to bet $100 this is the plan.
You'd catch me being the very first after the Greenlanders themselves, to sing "Nuna Asiilasooq" with all the strength that my voice can muster, from my balcony, the moment the day finally comes. Infinite support to colonized peoples around the world in their struggle for national freedom!
Based on a cursory search it looks like this PM is from a nominally socialist independence party.
So I don't quite expect he's aiming to get annexed.
On the other hand, the "international community" might look away as the US forcefully annexes a colony that elected a socialist leader and got uppity about independence.
This wasn't on my bingo card.
"Prime Minister Mute Egede"?
Sounds like a goddamn Metal Gear villain name.
Too be fair he’s Inuit not a perfidious Dane.
Good! That makes his name cool as hell!
