  1.  @TheIncredibleJumpman  America has no "similar areas" to Greenland. Alaska is absolutely nothing like it, save for being far north. 80% of Greenland's land mass is covered in an ice sheet two miles thick. Less than one percent of its land is arable. The population is less than 1 person per 7 square kilometers. And it is an island far from any population centers. Greenland is far more similar to Antarctica than to Alaska. So yeah, it's not super economical to build a mine there. That said, infrastructure is slowly being built out.

  2. We actually do this. We defend and help fund Palau and Micronesia, but we don't conduct their foreign relations. We do conduct foreign relations for American Samoa. Most people just don't know about these places. Admittedly, there is no equivalent relationship here to Denmark and Greenland, in part because there is no crown, but there are similar ideas.
