Since we're talking about Greenald, this means rare earth elements. And when it comes to this, we are indeed lagging behind.
China has cornered the rare earths market having both: the largest deposits and production numbers. And while Russian production numbers are low, they rank 4th when it comes to reserves, and they're increasing these numbers - just a few days ago they captured one of the largest lithium deposits in Europe.
Meanwhile we're the complete opposite of Russia - low reserves, but high production numbers. In the long run it's untenable. And that's where Greenland comes into play with rare earth deposits estimated to be the same size as American. So if we could acquire Greenland, or at least strongarm Denmark into granting us concessions, we would double our reserves.
