    I first became aware of Greenland's importance to the US back in the early 70's when people in my military career field were routinely being sent to Thule Greenland on 89 day temporary duty assignments (TDY). Luckily we've had agreements with Greenland in place for quite some time to act as host to a US military presence to act as early warning and first line of defense against bad actors in greater Europe and Asia. Other 'News' sources might tell you that some of those bad actors have designs on Greenland as well in order to neutralize the US advantage which has caused every administration in recent history to consider ways to strengthen the US presence there. I guess which version of 'News' you prefer is up to you.
    Perhaps it was read out of context by the news or the exact quote was mis-interpreted. I suspect his motives are far deeper, anyway, and he was just whining. Since Greenland appears to have offered the U.S. every military intervention possible short of total ownership and control, I pretty much don't get it. However, I'd lean to the control of Greenlands minerals much like it is Venezuelan oil. Or delusions of global domination. I think one of Trumps cabinet said it was creating a crisis to prevent a crisis? I'm surprised he didn't go after Cuba net to reward Marco for being a good servant. But that may be next, although they lack natural resources to pillage.

    In a text message to Norway’s leader on Sunday, President Trump said that one reason behind his push to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. In his message, which was released by the Norwegian prime minister’s office, Mr. Trump also questioned Denmark’s centuries-old claim to the island and repeated his demand for “Complete and Total Control” of it.
