Exactly this: there IS already a 1951 agreement that gives the US wide ranging access to Greenland for security purposes. Use that agreement.
But this is only for security purposes. Not to annex a country or steal minerals.

It is equally easy & possible to write, "Trump weighs violating US treaty commitments under the UN and NATO by seizing the sovereign territory of one of our closest allies" You don't have to normalize & sanewash reality.
