That depends on how independence is handled. Denmark/Europe could still ensure defence of an independent Greenland. As much as they can right now at least…
And why would they? No European country would send their troops into a war against the US to defend a former European country that just declared independence.
It’s unlikely that any European country will send troops to war against the US either way. But leaving that aside, an independent Greenland would still be associated and integrated with Europe. Everything else would basically be suicide for the country and it’s also in Europe’s interest to keep Greenland within its sphere.
