I'm not in favour of the WH proposal in any case, but specifically there's no economic justifier in materials extraction, strategically. It would be more sensible to continue to invest in onshore and close ally mining and production/processing, and get source diversity. If the problem was sourcing them, entering into a strategic alliance with Danish and Greenland interests is pretty straightforward. I can't see this justifying state seizure in any circumstances.
