Through whatever you want to handwave, at the time the Virgin Islands goes through, the USA buys the really big cold island instead of the small tropical ones. Does this matter?

The Virgin Islands was a colony that Denmark wanted to get rid off. Greenland a part of Norse lands of old though when the Danes showed up no more Norse around - not up for sale.
Not do fast, the US occupied Iceland as a way to both counter Nazi and to guarantee Allied ships able to sail to Soviet arrival ports.Then have the Nazis win in Europe. With Denmark under Hitler's grip, the US occupation of Greenland would be indefinite. No sale needed.
