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.
Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?
The natural resources, a tacit admission that Global Warming is real, continued control over a strategic area even after completely fucking over the perfectly good allies the US has now, and even though it’s under the second largest ice sheet in the world, the island is just a tiny bit larger than the Louisiana Purchase, so I’m sure there’s a huge ego factor.
I suppose it’s a relief they’re not talking about invading (for now), but Jesus what beatdown this all is.
