I think what is happening is that Russia and China have made real gains in the article. Greenland has become a very strategic location due to this. In addition to all of the minerals and resources.
Trump probably told Rutte, you either support our efforts in Greenland, which is inherently a military strategic move to protect the North Atlantic (North Atlantic Treaty Organization -NATO), or we will back out of NATO and defend the North Atlantic ourselves. You can worry about Europe without us and we'll worry about the North Atlantic without you.
And then Rutte probably said, I already have Denmark on the phone.
