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.
Nobody said per year. That 10k is so they can get the fuck off americas new playground. One time.
Hang on, so it’s literally to get the people of Greenland to leave Greenland?
Granted, I assumed yearly, because this is apparently supposed to replace a yearly benefit that Greenland receives from Denmark.
Even if it is only one time, that’s still a lot of money that Trump seems to want to throw at something completely frivolous, rather than making a difference to the lives of Americans. Can’t see how that feels good for anyone who is struggling with the price of eggs.
Right-wingers never agree to annual payouts except for the rich. It’s absolutely a one time thing.
Buying votes that’s what it is
