The Trump administration is reportedly exploring a plan to offer each resident of Greenland about $10,000 as part of its broader effort to annex the island. This proposal would effectively replace the $600 million in annual subsidies Greenland currently receives from Denmark and, according to The New York Times, has progressed beyond mere speculation to become an official U.S. policy initiative.

This is dumb on several levels
1. 56,583*10,000 = $565,830,000 <$6,000,000 from Denmark, you are already low balling after bungling the past several months. I am also going to guess this won’t be a yearly payment but just a one time thing.
2. Direct investment into individuals is the least effective way to pursue economic growth and prosperity. 6 million invested into Greenland economy through tourism and business subsidies would be more effective than just writing a check to each person
3. Maybe you should have started with the bribes and investments first before making threats.

This is an absurd lowball offer that nobody in their right mind would go for. The US could realistically afford to give every Greenlander $500,000 and it would still „only“ cost $30 billion to do – a fraction of the government’s budget and less than what Elon paid for Twitter. Would I sell out my sovereignty for $10k? Almost certainly not. For $500k? I don’t know

US Admin trying to bypass Greenland government.
Greenlanders should not even play this buy-and-sell game. Do not even try to imagine a fair price.

Won’t that just tart a bidding war?
China tomorrow: Greenlanders – get your $50,000 each from over here! (Hurry though, as that is woirth less every day!)

I’m sure DOGE will give this financial transaction the same scrutiny as they did the Dept of Education.

If this is not a yearly offer then this initial _low-ball_ is too low IMO. The US can realistically pay about 400k per resident and barely affect the US debt. First offer should have been around 50k-90k with a target for a 250k final offer (plus other stuff to sweeten the deal).

Over 500 million in taxpayer dollars would go to fund this. Doge is adding fraud and waste

Doesn’t matter what dollar amount they claim they will pay them. The citizens of Greenland will never see a cent of that money.

10K as bid to sell out your country is so low that it’s insulting.

Let’s see, $2.5T divided by 50k that’s $50m each. I think that’s more than $10k. What a ridiculous lowball offer. Not to mention the fact that that $10k would get sucked up the first time they went to a doctor.

Sheesh, what an insultingly small amount. Denmark could outbid that if they wanted.
At least offer a million and people will seriously think about it.

That’s what most people thought of immediately. Cool to see politicians do common-sense approaches.

I’m becoming increasingly concerned that he’s actually going to start WW3. America is run by lunatics but they’re lunatics sitting at the table with ace king suited. We’re in so much trouble.

He wants them to turn traitor for 10k a year?
Wild proposition coming from a country that
1. Is broke and
2. is possibly on the verge of causing World War 3, because of them going Tariff crazy.

This is a fake article, this is not the manhattan times website. Literally look at the rest of the website and think for yourself if it might be real. Then google „The Manhattan Times“ and go find their real website.
For the love of god people, it’s 2025. „Don’t believe everything you see on TV“ counts for a million times more on the internet.

Budget colonizafion. Russia or China should up the offer to 999k usd just to make Greenland gets a better offer. 1mil usd minimum.

all denmark will do is „protest“
any physcial altercation is what the USA is looking for.
give them a reason to call it a contested war zone, they have weapons to test out.

If Greenlanders agree to this they will be the biggest laughing stock of the world and do not deserve their own country.
They need to consider whate happened to native Americans.

I hope the Greenlanders do not accept the bribe. They are going to be better off staying with Denmark.

You can’t even survive comfortable for half a year in America on 10k. I think Greenlanders would want more than second-hand subarus
SomebodyWondering665 on
How much of the federal government’s budget is that? Is the DOGE office happy with all that? Is this money approved by Congress? Is there any measurable, achievable, and public standard of ROI for us giving this money away? Why are these questions necessary at all?
