Trump’s Greenland push is now being framed as a trade and geopolitics package, with EU retaliation risk layered on top.

If the US acquires Greenland and effectively controls Venezuela, the land mass involved is estimated around 1.18 to 1.20 million square miles.

That is roughly one third of the current US land mass and about 42% larger than the Louisiana Purchase, the biggest US acquisition in history.

• Greenland is estimated at ~836,330 sq miles, about 23.7% of current US size
• Venezuela is estimated at ~340,560 sq miles, about 9.6%
• Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was ~837,987 sq miles
• Texas annexation in 1845 added ~389,166 sq miles

The economic angle is resources.

🐈 Venezuela is cited as holding over 300B barrels of crude oil reserves, with total natural resources estimated around $15T.

🐈 Greenland is cited at ~1.5M metric tons of rare earth reserves, ranked around 8th globally, but with near zero rare earth production in 2025 due to funding and infrastructure limits.

🐈 Greenland is also linked to iron ore, graphite, zinc, copper, gold, and potential offshore oil and gas, with resource estimates up to $5T.

Combined, the resource value being floated is around $20T, with most of it still untapped. Around $1.2T of annual US EU trade is now framed as being at risk if escalation continues.

EU investors now hold a record ~$10T in US assets, according to Treasury data.

🐈 ~$6T in US equities, about 58% of total EU holdings
🐈 ~$2T in US Treasuries, about 19%
🐈 ~$2T in US corporate and other bonds
🐈 ~$225B in US agency bonds


Expanding beyond the EU, European countries including the UK, Norway, and Switzerland account for roughly 40% of all foreign Treasury holdings.

This is why recent talk about Europe selling US bonds matters, but also why it’s complicated. When Treasuries sell off, European sovereign bonds are falling even more. Europe’s exposure to the US is massive, and unwinding it would push stress back into its own bond markets.
Europe’s financial exposure to the US has never been larger.
