We know in the past, his biggest problem with the Iraq war was that we did not get their oil. And we know he has a tendency to see the western hemisphere a part of his extended imperium. So I'd say we dismiss this as a distraction at our peril. Things that start out as distraction or an offhand remark have a way of gaining their own momentum with him.
BTW, I still think Canada and Greenland are off the hook. What he gains by giving Ukraine, and perhaps Europe, to Putin is the uncontested hegemony over the western hemisphere. He does want his head on Mt. Rushmore, you know.
