Trump I doubt very much really wants Greenland. What he wants is something else.

Perhaps, but what he's been saying is that he wants Greenland:

Since winning the 2024 presidential election, Trump has touted a strategic interest for the U.S. in purchasing Greenland, an Arctic island that is part of Danish territory, reiterating his desire to acquire it last month. It's not a new idea for Trump: A gambit to purchase Greenland was mocked when it came up during his first term in office. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was on the ground Tuesday filming for a documentary accompanied by at least two incoming White House officials. “Well, we need greater national security purposes. I’ve been told that for a long time, long before I even ran,” Trump told reporters. “You have approximately 45,000 people there. People really don’t even know that Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security.”

He seems to be taking this seriously. I don't think Denmark would consider committing "Alaska 2.0," so I'm not sure how seriously they'll take it, but Trump is talking about this as though it's something he really wants to happen.
