US do not need Greenland for its security, but for minerals for Elons EVs.
He is threatening Denmark, a close ally with the use of force for economic gain for his billionaire buddy.

During the press conference, he vowed to “tariff Denmark at a very high level” unless the country gave up control of Greenland.
Hard to think of a stauncher US ally in the EU than Denmark

As a Dane I could see on the news this evening that Trump threatens Denmark with tariffs if we doesn't sell Greenland! 🤦
Who does he think he is? A spoiled brat used to buy his way out of everything. Treating one of the most loyal allies on every front?
Shameful!
There is no low too low for him.
Luckily it looks like more and more of MAGA are realising they were used.
And Trump needs a diversion from being sentenced tomorrow as well as time to hide the report on the secret files in the bathroom.
would that be the right course of action?
It is equally a preparation to make do without China as Greenland can supply all of the rare earth metals that China and Russia more or less controls.
If Greenland think this is their way to independence - well then they are in for a harsh awakening - very harsh.
But Greenland does have significant oil reserves.
Nice try, though.
US has energy enough itself, eg oil & gas, so why piss off an ally for more of that? I make little sense...
Its about rare-earths, not the battery
You see, the typical Tesla uses no Rare Earth Element, just steel and standard magnets. That's one of the reasons Tesla is so immensely profitable.
Also, an electric car has no engine, it's called a motor. So maybe you are quoting some fossil-fuel-lobbyist info.
The hoist is about Greenland's rare earths, as China controls the rest.
However, now Trump just completely shit in the swimming pool.
Regardless, please just add qualifiers like "some" or "most" or whatever. There's a lot of very good people in & from the USA.
I don't defend him.
I live in Europe, where I'm doing research.
