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.
WTF!!
What a moronic proposal, as it is, Denmark is helping them with much more than that each year.
Greenland only has 56.669 inhabitants, giving everyone including children would only amount to 567 million!!
In direct Regional financial support alone Denmark is sending about 600 million USD per year.
And that's apart from paying for instance police and military support.
And Greenland is tax exempt too!!
What a demeaning cheapskate offer.
I believe Greenland should have the right to decide for themselves.
But as a Dane, I find that offer insulting!
