Doesn’t the US have plenty of these materials, it’s just too expensive to mine it because of environmental protection legislation, wages, energy costs, missing infrastructure for it and so on? This wouldn’t change in Canada/Greenland.
It would… if the annexed territories became a special economic zone where, magically, slavery was made completely legal.
For an example what might be yet to come, you could take a look at the horrifying history of the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal which happened in a similarly hostile environment.
Of course, you are theoretically completely right. But Greenland has absolutely 0 infrastructure, not even basics like roads between places, and almost no people, and Canada would resist so powerfully (they have nuclear weapons) that it’s also completely unrealistic.
