US EditionU.S. Weighs Paying Greenlanders Up to $100,000 to Leave Denmark: Reuters
The U.S. considers lump-sum payments of up to $100,000 per Greenlander to encourage secession from Denmark and advance U.S. national security interests, sources say.
- U.S. officials have discussed sending lump-sum payments to Greenlanders to persuade secession from Denmark and possible U.S. accession, Reuters reports from multiple anonymous sources.
- President Donald Trump has long sought Greenland for security reasons, saying, `We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it`, while White House aides say urgency grew recently after the Maduro operation.
- Officials discussed amounts from $10,000 to $100,000 per person, with a $100,000-per-person total of almost $6 billion for Greenland's 57,000 residents.
- European capitals and Copenhagen pushed back, saying only Greenland and Denmark decide their relations, while Denmark's defense ministry warned it would respond militarily to any invasion and Jens-Frederik Nielsen rejected annexation talk Sunday.
- Among options, aides floated a Compact of Free Association but COFA would likely require Greenland's separation from Denmark; Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet his Danish counterpart next week and Vice President JD Vance visits Pituffik on March 28.

European nations have rejected any takeover, but th…
The vast majority of Greenlanders refuse to join the United States. However, Washington apparently assumes that the inhabitants are for sale. If the sum is only high enough.
The White House confirmed that US President Trump and his security advisers were examining "what a potential purchase would look like."
