By a lot.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/nato-ally-buy-buy-buy-1...I had said that Trump highlighting Greenland was really a message for NATO to spend more. Here you go:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/nato-ally-buy-buy-buy-1...Denmark will spend 70% more on defense over the next two years, bringing its outlays to 3.2% of GDP, as President Donald Trump has called on NATO countries to boost their militaries. The planned increase also follows a Danish intelligence report that said Russia may start a war in Europe within years.
NATO member Denmark will pour billions more into its military as Europe reckons with the risks of wavering US support for the trans-Atlantic alliance and continued aggression from Russia.
Over the next two years, Denmark will spend an additional $7 billion on defense, representing a 70% increase and lifting its outlays to 3.2% of GDP from 2.4% last year.
On Wednesday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen signaled urgency in its procurement plans, which will also be aided by waivers and a restructuring of the defense ministry.Hmm.
"There is one message for the chief of defense: Buy, buy, buy," she told reporters, later adding, "If we can't get the best equipment, buy the next best. There's only one thing that counts now and that is speed."

This is a crock. Trump's message about Greenland was about Greenland. Greenland's mineral reserves are still not fully explored, but Trump is leaning on Ukraine for rare earths and Greenland has rare earths among its minerals. There's the defense of the north, but we have a base there.
You make conclusory statements Dope and y'all re-imagine anything Trump says to suit whatever you want.

Don't forget shipping lanes. Due to GCC it is likely that the Northwest Passage will be ice free much if not all of the year by the turn of the century. That will come with many problems and conflicts of its own.

So laughable.
No. It is now the MAGA/Trumpers who do everything by their 'gut' and have abandoned critical thinking.

Says the guy doing the same thing.
Back to the subject. I’ll keep hammering you people that NATO nations need to step and spend more on national defense. It’s an obvious thing that for some reason is hard to process.
Maybe we’ll do Canada’s fighter jet inventory next…
