I also think that it is an obviously extreme position that then will then obviously fail, but then the United States will fall back to "Canada and Greenland can only sell rare earth rights to the United States" to lock China out.

I heard that Trump is refashioning the CIA to focus on the West, which could be understood as including a focus Canada.

He has sold us out to Russia and this tracks with that.

Ahhh

So now I see why we’re demanding Greenland!

I guess that’s just planning ahead.
