As a Puerto Rican who comes from a culture of people who constantly sing about their love for their island, who was told his island is a floating pile of garbage by orange man's fans, I don't think Greenland should expect anyone in Trump's administration to apologize.

Right? Both in and out of the island, there's people that are okay with its status as a modern-day colony. At this moment in time, PR is the world's oldest colony, not having had any sort of independence or proper self-governing since it was established back in the 1500's. And even when there's downsides to being a colony, they're still okay with the status quo. It's wild.
I guess if you wanted to think about it in a more "positive" light (big quotation marks around that word, I'm using it veeeery loosely here), you could see it as a native American reservation, but instead of being forced out and pushed into foreign land, we were allowed to keep our ancestral land.

Hopefully no one ever discovers gold or sliver there. The US hasn't been good to reservations that turn out to have valuable mineral deposits.

The Spaniards already took it all when they colonized the island and enslaved the native Taíno population back in the 1500s. The US was a little late, coming in and taking the island in the early 1900s.

Not yearly. Believe it or not, Puerto Rico gets hit less than both Florida and Texas individually get hit. It even gets hit less than Cuba and the Dominican Republic. We're not exactly "safe", but we're small enough that we mostly only get outer bands of storms moving by.
That being said, yes the US helps, but most of the reconstruction is done by Puerto Rico itself. Hell we never even received all of the money Congress had approved for us for Maria's reconstruction and a lot of people in FEMA were arrested and convicted of bribery and corruption for pocketing lots of it.
So sure we're "better off" because we get some money, but we'd probably be able to afford it ourselves if we weren't forced into a bad economic situation from so many controlling acts of Congress. It's to the point where we can't generate enough income to offset our spending or debt.

Well, in their defense Puerto Ricans used to vote for it to remain like this, only in recent decades has the vote started to shift into a desire to become a real state, thing is of course the US government doesn't really want that because of many reasons (it would most likely be a blue state, giving the dems an advantage for example), so they just drag their feet.

The US has plenty of minerals of its own, but they can't be mined due to environmental laws. If Greenland becomes part of the US, then their minerals can't be mined either due to the same environment laws.

Alaska is nothing like Greenland though. Just because they're the same latitude. You might as well compare Milwaukee with Marseille.

GrimHolyApr 9, 2026

It is an analogy, when Alaska was purchased they couldn’t access the resources there and had no idea how much was under the ground. Now it’s one of the most resource rich states we have in terms of just raw resources. I was simply saying in the same way greenlands resources would become available the more we advance and the warmer the climate gets. Not saying it makes taking it justified either obv but it could be a reason he’s looking so hard into it
2
Donc-qui-et-Quand64Apr 9, 2026

If Greenland's ice sheets were to melt that alone would raise sea levels by 23 feet. If it were to become economical to start mining under miles of ice then it would be because everything else is depleted and the world is fucked.
Its not like people haven't set mines up in Greenland (near the ice free coasts), they just almost all fail because they can't make enough money.
Alaska gets warm water currents coming all the way up from Mexico that allow it to have huge forests full of wildlife.
You might as well he talking about how can we start mining Antarctica. Alaska is tropical compared to greenland.

He's looking for an easy win again... we all thought Cuba by Trumps actions against them (but I'm guessing daddy Putin said no)
So he's back to Greenland (after putin told him nato is a paper tiger - he literally said putin told him this)
He just want to have expansion so his name is in the record books saying he expanded USA. And his dementia riddled brain feels he would be loved if he did

Denmark does not mine Greenland's resources primarily due to the island's harsh Arctic climate and challenging geography, which make mining operations extremely difficult and costly. Additionally, most mining efforts have not progressed beyond the exploratory stage, and Greenland's government has expressed a desire to maintain control over its resources.
