T is a businessman (in the past). He just proposed a "merger", not sure why it was taken so negatively as it was just a suggestion with no aggressive moves to accompany such suggestions.
Strategically, Greenland would be better off with US for obvious reasons [it already had, as was revealed publicly recently, a US nuclear base https://www.wsj.com/world/greenland-us-camp-century-nuclear-base-91e8abea], but politically, I understand why this is not a popular opinion.
Finally, that "agreement" is worth zippo if US really "wanted" Greenland, which it does not, in all seriosness.
So...nothing changes.
I am not sure why yellow pages always write about 'humiliations', 'upsets', etc. when talking about economic relationships.
I found out that British are always very reserved in person and in public, and justly so, but quite outlandish in their writings.
Must be some sort of compensation, indeed.
I'm sure if China talked about offering Hawai or Guam to join the great Chinese nation Trump would take it very well.
You are mixing two unrelated things here.
Example: CA is a sanctuary state, but they have a wonderful prop 13, which does two things: limits RE tax to 1% of assessed value and that assessed value cannot rise more than 2% a year maximum.
TX, not a sanctuary state, has about 2% (of assessed value) RE tax and a 10% RE limit increase yearly, which is very hard as salaries do not rise 10%/year.
Additionally, assessors have no interest in helping you to contain the relentless rise and always try to somehow find the maximal possible value.
You can protest the tax, and I do...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Conclusion: sanctuary has nothing to do with it. Imho, all states need to create something similar to CA prop 13, otherwise we are screwed.
