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.

    That’s a really scary wall of text without a single citation or hard fact. You went to a lot of effort just to say you’re really not informed on this matter at all.

    I’ll point you to the work the Land Deal Politics Initiative has done over the past decade. Or even just do a simple Google search “are land grabs more common now”. Simple stuff.

    Good day, sir.

        You’re the fool if you think I can’t be both.

        Trump hasn’t hasn’t had a unique thought in his entire life, where do you think he got the the idea? These kinds of land grabs happen often, you just don’t pay attention because it is mostly people of color being taken advantage of. Now it’s white Europeans and you’re all like “it will never happen here”.
