One of the proposed motivations behind the US's interest in Greenland is the prospect of its natural resources. The mention of oil reserves and geothermal potential reflects a broader theme: the desire for resource access drives geopolitical decisions. Histories of US territorial acquisition—referencing purchases like Alaska—serve as a backdrop for this discussion, raising the question of what Greenland could gain economically from aligning with the US. In this scenario, the idea is reinforced that they could quickly reap substantial benefits through infrastructure development and resource extraction.
