1️⃣ Sticking to the status quo
Greenland has been part of Denmark since 1953. Denmark’s preferred option is to give the US more presence there. Currently the US has one base with fewer than 200 personnel. Officials would also welcome more US investment. The US response, they say, has been lukewarm.
