How is that a threat, considering that the US also effectively withdraws from NATO if it can get Greenland?

It is a veiled threat because once the US voluntarily withdraws from NATO, it is no longer bound to any obligation to not seize Greenland by force.

Seems a bit subtle when Trump could just send invading troops and see how it pans out (assuming that the military remains loyal to him). That could then lead to NATO kicking out USA, so what would threatening to do it achieve?
