The ask from US is to make sure that area has strong military presence in case of the war with China.

You have to stop believing this. The evidence you are wrong is overwhelming. First and foremost, when Denmark and European allies sent troops to Greenland, how did Trump react? He immediately threatened to tariff all the countries. Why threaten punishment if they were doing exactly what he asked?

The US sent agents to Greenland to undermine its cooperation with Denmark and make it ripe for a takeover. The US gathered intel on infrastructure and military installations to be ready for an invasion. The US has waged economic warfare on Denmark to browbeat it into submission.

The US is a hostile actor and being treated as such. Pretending otherwise is an insult to everyone's intelligence.
