What kind of ridiculous stupidity is it to endanger the greatest military alliance in history? You give up the credible deterrent that all member states enjoy and contribute for what exactly? A bunch of minerals you could have had with a simple treaty? Military access that you already enjoyed? China and Russia must be laughing hard at this amateur shit show

Specifically in this case Trump's stated rationale is to shove Denmark's face in it for not forcing the Nobel prize committee to give him a peace prize. I don't think minerals or national security factor into it.
