The social security system in Greenland includes:

    Public pensions for retirees and disabled individuals
    Unemployment benefits for those who qualify
    Healthcare coverage under a publicly funded system
    Family and child benefits, including parental leave and childcare support

Though benefits aren't as generous as in Denmark, they are still more secure than many U.S. states.

Greenland: Public pension system ensures a basic income for seniors, regardless of work history.  In the U.S. Social Security provides a pension based on work history.  Benefits depend on how much one has paid in.  There is universal access to pensions in Greenland, but In the U.S., people receive little or no Social Security if they haven't paid in.

Greenland: Parental leave policies exist, though not as generous as Denmark, child benefits are available.  In the U.S. there is no guaranteed paid parental leave, it depends on employer policy.  Any paid parental leave is better than the U.S.'s lack of guaranteed leave.

Greenland: Free education, including university options in Denmark.  In the U.S. only public school is free.  College is expensive, and student debt is common.  Greenland education comes without a massive debt burden.

But as they must have the COVID brain damage in Greenland like everywhere else, they must be standing in line to bend the knee to Trump.

Since the canals are critical for trade, this add still another variable to make the shipping industry nervous.  HTF could he get them to agree to this other than with military force?  When a ship arrives at the locks, if you don't pay, they don't pump the water.

His rationale here seems to be since Amerikan engineers did design work 100+ years ago, we get a free pass forever?  What about the countries that provided the laborers to dig them?  Shouldn't they get a free pass also?

Trump figures Colonial policy was great!  The King sends a ship somewhere, captain steps ashore and plants a flag and claims the whole neighborhood now belongs to the Crown.  ::)   Those pesky folks already living there can now either pay taxes to him or move somewhere else.  Or he'll donate smallpox infected blankets to them.
