I'm not assuming that the status quo is acceptable to us. I was just wondering why Greenland would have to accommodate our national security interests in their policy decisions, rather than pursuing a "Greenland First" policy? If it's in their national interest to help us confront China, they'll do that. If it's not, why would we have an expectation that they would put America's interests ahead of Greenland's?

Because our interests coincide with theirs, very nearly identically in the areas of security. And they're a NATO partner, meaning they're treaty-bound to contribute to the collective defense.

Do they want Chinese corporations extracting minerals from their soil, with their stellar track record of good business practices and environmental stewardship?

Or how about Russians routinely violating their economic exclusion zones along the arctic?
