    However, why would Trump threaten to invade Canada and Greenland if the EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand has no autonomy of its own?

    Personal benefit. Greenland and Denmark are not sovereign they are suzerainties. Greenland as very limited autonomy from the US(they even got away with dropping a nuke on them with no repercussions)

    Despite this Trump could still personally benefit finically and otherwise from a more direct form of control and tbh knowing his ego I wouldn’t be surprised if just want to paint Greenland in US colours on the world map so that part of his ‘legacy’ is increasing the size of the US
