Inspired by a redux of interest in Greenland, Canada, etc. prompted by pres.elect DJ Trump
Before we get to the nitty grtty, it helps to remember the types of ownership: de jure and de facto (as verbs, own & pwn). Because Trump is about real estate, he wants US possession. This elaboration focuses on work-around tactics if the possession motive fails.

For access to Canada's arctic coast, of primary interest are:
Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon
For America-friendly Canadian provinces (English-speakers, conservative ideology, white race majority, etc.): Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, most of British Columbia.
For less friendly to America (neo-liberal, Francophile, etc.): Quebec, Ontario, Maritime provinces.
Greenland

... has commanding location viz Arctic Ocean, mineral resources, fresh water, unoccupied space (available to tunneling excavation).

> Trump's outrageous remarks are really just negotiating tactic: “You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said (Stephen) Farnsworth, https://www.amazon.com/Presidential-Communication-Character-Stephen-Farnsworth/dp/1138212237 . Greenland is officially autonomous, but a protectorate of Denmark.
IOW Trump aims to PWN the Northwest and trans-isthmus passages, by smart deal-making. If he can achieve those objectives as de jure, so be it. But my intent is to outline the alternative approach, achievement of de facto privileges.
Do it by contract (aka treaties) which is a specific honor due the executive branch, Federal gov't. Team Trump thus offers subsidies to Greenland, & Denmark citizens + corporate entities and specific preferences viz promotional programs focused on Making America Great Again. In this way, Trump gains the exclusive (anti-China) access to these Arctic neighbors (+ Panama), while they get super sweet deals due to their priority claims that deserve moral respect. Trump should not further injure America's own record of moral righteousness by reverting to Imperialist aggressions that have so tainted world history of colonialism.
Appreciating Canadian provinces in similar manner follows suit.
