Such a move would destroy NATO. War within NATO seems unlikely. It’s more likely that the European Union would block trade with the US, seize American assets in Europe and either imprison or expel American citizens. It would severely damage trade. It would also enable Russian ambitions to take all of Ukraine, the Baltics, Moldava and possibly Finland.
It’s worth remembering that both France and Britain have quite potent nuclear deterrence forces that are potentially capable of causing immense damage to the US.

What would happen if Trump invaded Greenland?
If Trump as president ordered the US military to invade Greenland, we simply do not know what would ensue. Greenland has 50,000 people, an area of 836,000 square miles of mostly glacier and permafrost. It also has a strategic location, and according to some, immense mineral resources, as well as significant oil and gas deposits offshore. The US action would be seen as geopolitical theft.
