    Trump was in real estate. He wants land. Greenland does have leverage. They could refuse the US offer. Greenland doesn’t have the power to stop a US invasion but such an invasion would be illegal. Consequently, a subsequent administration could withdraw. However, if Greenland signs a deal, that would be legally binding.
