Trump's also wants to use Greenland to control the Arctic, or should I say to be used as blockade in times of conflict, which Russia and China are also exploring the Arctic Shipping route, now being more navigable due to climate change. Russia and China have little foothold in Greenland other than the several visits made by Greenland leaders to China and given all the protocol expected. That does not mean China is controlling Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Sovereign State of Denmark and has freedom to conduct relations with any other country.
Suffice to say, Canada, despite all the fire and fury over Trump's rhetoric, may be a possible addition to the USA as its 51st state, but not the others. After all, Canada has been behaving like a colony of the USA already, doing what the USA dictates and following the USA in whatever it does. Canada will wag its tail when ordered by the USA. When told to jump it will just ask 'how high'.

As I have said all along, Trump is a big fan of fossil fuel, and a big dissident, if I may use the word, of renewables. Trump probably has huge interest in oil exploration majors or have huge donors from oil industry players. That basically is diametrically opposed to huge donors to Trump's campaign like Elon Musk. Musk is fighting a losing battle looking at events unfolding. If it does come to Canada and Greenland being seized, Trump will continue to shout 'Drill baby drill' for more oil from his two new additional territories.
There is much hyping about China still collapsing mantra, with its oil demand shrinking, its property sector unravelling, all without looking or considering its trade surplus still rising to the heavens at almost US$1 trillion last year. Is this a sign that China is collapsing which is just a fantasy or a fact. China's demand for oil will keep falling due to its electrification moves in almost every direction - EVs, Public Transport, rural outreach in electrification, which will all result in China cutting its dependence on fossil fuel usage. Now with more gas reaching China from Russia's 'Power of Siberia 2' pipeline in 2030, less usage of oil will be the outcome.
The USA under Trump can continue to promote fossil fuel and keeping its car manufacturers alive and hooked on ICE vehicle output, while the rest of the world moves on with renewables adoption like EVs, wind turbines and solar panels.
