The correct response is: **He didn't think it was useful to him and he needed the money.**
Napoleon decided to sell the Louisiana Territory primarily because he realized that it was more of a liability than an asset for France, particularly after losing interest in maintaining a North American empire and needing funds for his military campaigns in Europe.
