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.

      If it makes you feel any better, America doesn’t care about their culture and only wants their natural resources and strategic location. Oh wait, that probably won’t make you feel better.

        The culture will be immediately outlawed, too woke. What you’re confusing for culture is actually South American gang activity.

      Right? I’m American and even I wouldn’t take that deal. Mind you I’d take the money, but then if you want me off my land you’re going to have to have a conversation with Mr. Glock.

          Nice. I just have a G19gen4, a heavily-customized AR15 that a gunsmith friend built and tuned specifically for me, and a Saiga 12g (with the crazy Latvian slugs that shoot through engine blocks.) I feel like they cover all the bases. ;)
