First off it’s not that far from the US so they might get some fallout from that. Second, they are doing this for access to rare earth minerals which will be considerably harder to get under conditions of nuclear radiation. It may make the whole project untenable for a long time. Which is the opposite of what they want.
So generally, even removing all the humanitarian and geopolitical ramifications, which would be enormous, I don’t think it would serve their interests
The logical counter response I guess would be for Denmark to get their own nukes and nuke the Americans on Greenland then. Then everyone can just keep nuking Greenland every few years.

Newest generation of nukes has significantly reduced fallout and can be re-occupied by troops in days. Scary stuff

Seems like a waste when we could just nuke everything and give up on the whole society thing
We’d probably get there eventually.
