Trump’s Greenland push is now being framed as a trade and geopolitics package, with EU retaliation risk layered on top.

If the US acquires Greenland and effectively controls Venezuela, the land mass involved is estimated around 1.18 to 1.20 million square miles.

That is roughly one third of the current US land mass and about 42% larger than the Louisiana Purchase, the biggest US acquisition in history.

• Greenland is estimated at ~836,330 sq miles, about 23.7% of current US size
• Venezuela is estimated at ~340,560 sq miles, about 9.6%
• Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was ~837,987 sq miles
• Texas annexation in 1845 added ~389,166 sq miles

The economic angle is resources.

🐈 Venezuela is cited as holding over 300B barrels of crude oil reserves, with total natural resources estimated around $15T.

🐈 Greenland is cited at ~1.5M metric tons of rare earth reserves, ranked around 8th globally, but with near zero rare earth production in 2025 due to funding and infrastructure limits.

🐈 Greenland is also linked to iron ore, graphite, zinc, copper, gold, and potential offshore oil and gas, with resource estimates up to $5T.

Combined, the resource value being floated is around $20T, with most of it still untapped. Around $1.2T of annual US EU trade is now framed as being at risk if escalation continues.
