I think Europe or Canada should make EVs, and Greenland being given incentives to tap into their minerals to feed the materials necessary for the project. Greenland gets closer to independence, and whoever makes the cars gets to piss on Musk. Win-win, no need for the risk of CCP becoming too influential within democratic governments.

...While trade is a good thing, I think that maintaining at least a moderate level of manufacturing industry and sciences within your nation or cultural sphere to be very important. Just in case things get weird, like how 2025 has been.

Greenland gets closer to independence

Colonial provinces supplying strategic resources to their European occupier has rarely made them more independent.

You work with what you have, not what you want. Greenland has fish, minerals, and a strategic position. Minerals is probably the best bet, because everyone needs the stuff, so you get to pick who you trade with.

Great euphemism for "I want your country to become a colony"
