I would love to know who gave Trump the idea to purchase Greenland.
As you correctly point out, it's not such a bad idea. The United States could more easily exploit the natural resources and the strategic location of Greenland than Denmark could. That's the definition of a win-win trade.
Unfortunately, Trump has gone about it badly. He's frightened Danes and Greenlanders with empty talk, rather than emphasizing the benefits of such a trade. It seems like he doesn't really understand the idea himself.
Good idea for who though? As NATO allies the US don't need to own Greenland to defend it. And Greenlanders would lose rights to work and live in 27 European countries, and would the USA let them keep the higher education, healthcare and living standards than the rest of the USA?
