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.
My comment is not based on opinion polls. But on the political negotiations as they have been represented.
I’m not aware of any other example where a territory with an original population is treated with more respect and more reasonably than Denmark is doing with Greenland, including having representation in the Danish parlament. I’m all for that. And Greenland can have independence, but when they want us to keep paying after that, how is that reasonable?
