As the world becomes warmer, Greenland and the routes North are strategically important. Denmark needs to defend Greenland. Trump would likely have not come sniffing if it was defended and not considered a weak link to China and Russia. It's a historic holding and maybe Denmark is no longer strong enough to maintain Greenland from the other side of the world. Then Canada makes sense.
