I’m expecting Trump to “walk away” - telling Denmark they had their chance to MGGA by selling us Greenland and making the citizens of Greenland not only US citizens, but very wealthy. However, since they refuse, he’ll just use the power the US was given to establish an unlimited number of military bases there instead. Maybe he’ll create the “US Rare Earth Command” and do a little prospecting too.
Turn the tables and get the Greenlanders pissed at Denmark and demanding to become part of the US!
From what I've read, they are well aware of the "promises" of riches, but promises don't always pan out, especially lately. I personally think it would be great if Greenland was made a colony like Puerto Rico, but the right approach probably would be to just take their offer, and go ahead and build our bases there, and earn some actual trust, first.
Even if you are going to just take them over, later, it'd be easier if they agreed to let you build your bases there first, verses going to war on day 1, while they're still your ally.

And that would be perfectly legal AFAIK
