Trump Administration May Offer Annual $10K Checks for Every Greenlander if U.S. Can Annex Island: Report
The president isnt backing down on his desire to annex the autonomous Danish territory, which is home to many rare earth deposits

President Donald Trump is working on a new strategy to claim Greenland for the United States, according to a new report.
Trump has repeatedly stated his desire to annex the island which is currently an autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark but he has ramped up action in his second presidential term.
Now, The New York Times reports that the Trump administration is reviewing possible financial incentives it could offer to sweeten a deal including an annual payment of about $10,000 per Greenlander. This would supplant the current $600 million in subsidies that Denmark gives to the island.
President Trump believes Greenland is a strategically important location, and is confident Greenlanders would be better served protected by the United States from modern threats in the Arctic region, National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes told the Times.

I believe Greenlanders are too smart for that. Only Americans seem to be that gullable.

(6,941 posts)No that would essentially be stealing . Trump and Vance have themselves stated that Greenland is immensely valuable. We are talking multi- billions with similar payments that would be due to Denmark for their investment in the island.
Trump and the billionaire mobsters behind him who want to steal the precious metal wealth and install their AI infrastructure should be the ones paying, not us, the people of America.
Trump and the billionaire mobsters are active stealing our birthright by destroying our governmental services which were od tremendous value to us, imposing tariffs on us, thus jacking up our taxes so they can continue stealing and polluting our country to feed their fantasies of world domination.
Now they wand us to further indebt ourselves so they can get something for nothing.
The reality is that these delusional, ignorant freeloaders are destroyers. We and the rest of the world cannot afford them.
