The plan would replace the $600 million in subsidies Denmark gives the island each year
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.

A quick google tells me Greenland has a population of ~57,000. At $10k per resident, that’s $570 million.
On money alone, his offer is less than what they already receive, and unless he’s pitching for some sort of UBI it’ll be a one-time payment instead of annual. Is this the art of the deal they keep talking about?
10k to get lost, it’s unspoken but the money is to leave the country because that is then owned by Trump.
This is a typical Trump deal, Trump gets what he wants and the other side gets ripped off. There never will be equal footing between trading partners in a Trump deal.
It’s going to cost more than that just to hire movers that will transport outside the country. It doesn’t even come close to what it would cost to set up a new life somewhere else.
On top of this, Denmark had been doing this every year. The only thing you can count on Trump doing every year is to change his mind and ask you if you’ve said thank you for it.
Shut the fuck up. Enough.
Not you, MicroWave. The Republican president.
I read someplace that theres about 17 trillion in minerals and oil in greenland. ~57000 population of greenland, so paying for just the mineral wealth not the land and other resources, he’d owe each inhabitant about 298 million. each. So he’s paying them 1 /30,000th of what he should be offering.
But a UBI would be economically unviable.
Lmao ok.
Sounds like a one time payment.
What use is $10,000 if it destroys their economy?
Trump is a known liar and a thief.
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!Lol, literally fucking stealing from tax payer after crashing the economy so that he can pay off a foreign country to join the scam
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.
Is that what 30 pieces of silver is worth in this market?
Given what Trump is doing to the American economy, it might be better to offer Chinese Yuan.
Fuck you revolting jackass. How’s about you spend 10k per person on healthcare and housing subsidies.
President Sundowner isn’t going to do shit.
That won’t even cover the costs of moving to a non-fascist country.
Lol yeah 10k in american healthcare is like 1 insulin shot 💀
I haven’t read Fart of the Meal or whatever it’s called, but I feel like asking Greenlanders what it would take for them to want to be annexed may be a better (but still not good) way to broach the subject. And, if they say there’s nothing at all the US can offer them, then take that as a blatant hint to back the fuck off.
