    I highly doubt any of the Inuits or Danes living there would accept anything from him.

    They’ve been wanting independence, to be their own country, for so long. They’d never go for selling themselves to the US or anyone else.

      I mean, you’d be surprised. If he said “we will buy you out, and you can be your own country, but we get special rights to your land for mining and a military base” … they might want independence in spite of that. The fingers are crossed, of course, as he will fail to pass that property along to them after purchase.

        I think they realize that would be a very illconceived short-term solution to their wishes.

        Plus they already have projects in the works for a more sustainable approach on their own terms. Hydroponic Farms and such.
