'For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity
Donald Trump
There have been several occasions when the United States has considered the purchase of Greenland (assuming that it was ever for sale).
This sort of scenario is also explored as part of the plot of 'America City', where the US looks to move north, and 'abandon' the southern states.
The United States maintains Pituffik Space Base on Greenland, which houses the 12th Space Warning Squadron. Under a bilateral agreement, Denmark has little ability to act in Greenland where United States national security is involved.
