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.

    600k? You dropped some zeros there. It’s $600,000,000.

    He’d have to go a lot higher than 10k p.p. to even make them consider it, so that’d be billions. Luckily he has millions of tax payers who can fund his little obsession!

      If he doesn’t actually know how much a hamberder costs any amount above the cup of covfefe is just as imaginary. Don’t know why everyone’s so upset about the value of the currency dropping, just release a meme coin and sell it all off.
