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.
Well, yeah, obviously they wouldn’t get the subsidies anymore, I thought that was implied in gaining independence
Either way, they should still have the right to decide themselves
One should think that is a given, but that’s not how the people of Greenland see it.
Well, in that case I do agree with you. If they gain independence, the subsidies should stop. I mean, that’s only natural
And yes, I don’t think it would be a wise choice for greenland to do, but ultimately they should still have that choice, otherwise it’s just a glorified colony
