If failure to sell Greenland is the sole reason he canceled his trip, then I am not particularly fond of that decision on its own...
However, I would imagine there was some talk about them not even getting close to their 2% GDP for NATO and how Greenland would / could go a long way to helping make up for that, all while strengthening NATO... I bet Trump even offered to cover their part of NATO as part of the deal...
The U.S. built three of the existing airports on Greenland and still maintains a missile defense base in Thule...
Couple my suspicions there and the PM calling the notion of selling "absurd" in public and I really do not blame him for canceling his trip...
Still, I say the idea of purchasing could have been handled better as well...

Seems an awful lot like mafia protection scams/schemes.
