The Donald Trump administration is reportedly considering giving about $10,000 to each Greenland resident as part of its plan to annex the island.
The possibility would seek to replace the $600 million Denmark gives the territory in subsidies every year, and has stopped being mere rhetoric to become official U.S. policy, according to The New York Times.
The outlet detailed that the plan already includes several cabinet departments and that the White House's National Security Council has met several times to advance on it, recently sending specific instructions to different offices.
Greenland should say “we’re interested, but we’d need statehood and voting representatives in the house and Senate” - which would effectively end GOP control of the Senate for a generation.
If he tries anything like this in Canada I very much hope our leaders don't say that. Those of us who haven't fallen into the MAGA black hole don't ever want to be part of the USA, even with representation in their rotten system of government. I'm fairly sure Greenlanders would feel similarly.
