So it's 4d chess? If another base is the goal, why not simply ask them... is there any reason to think that would be denied? Wouldn't that request at least be taken more seriously?
Seems more likely that Trump looked at a map of the earth (without being aware of the concept of Mercator projection distortion) and thought "whats that massive continent up there and why don't we have it"
back in the day US had more than 10 000 soldiers on Greenland.
It has never been an issue.
Denmark is a founding member of NATO, had soldiers die in US wars.
They have always been a close ally to the US.
So if US wanted more bases / soldiers / other on Greenland all they had to do is ask.
