    Greenland has a very large proportion of the world’s accessible fresh water. Something America is rapidly running out of because water is being pumped out of the ground faster than it’s being replenished. Couple that with all the minerals and ores being exposed due to the melting glaciers and Greenland is a pretty important strategic interest to the U.S.

      I meant specifically for land mass, but after actually looking up how big Greenland is, not tiny. Its over 20% the size of Canada.

      I kinda thought Greenland was small and idk why.
