If something were to happen with Greenland (and I’m not convinced this isn’t just a ploy to force Denmark to uniformly ban Chinese investment there/cut sweetheart deals for US mining and shipping firms) itd probably look more like the relationship with the Marshall Islands than statehood
If I was a Greenlander, I might say something like:
“Hmm, I’ll think about if you Americans first show your other territories some respect – by granting statehood to Puerto Rico (if they want it), the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. Oh, as well as the District of Columbia while you’re at it. Then we’ll talk.”
As dumb as the idea is, Greenland becoming the 51st state is a far more likely idea. Hell, the US retaking the Panama Canal is more likely.

Yeah. If it was statehood, I could be all for it if they vote Dem.
