Also Venezuela is leading the charge to trade oil in anything but US Dollars and that is a threat to the US economy based on the petrodollar.

how much of the desire to own Greenland stems from the Magellan projection?
It's not oil either is it? Venezuelan oil is not the high quality stuff, and there is a glut of oil suppressing prices. Not much incentive for US oil companies.
