Trump Administration Offers Financial Incentives in Greenland Annexation Bid

A $10,000 annual payment plan and cultural ties are central to a PR campaign aimed at persuading Greenlanders to join the U.S., facing strong opposition from Denmark and local leaders.

The Trump administration is proposing $10,000 annual payments to each Greenland resident as part of a strategy to encourage voluntary annexation by the U.S.
A comprehensive public relations campaign emphasizes cultural connections between Greenland's Inuit population and Alaska's Inuit heritage.
The U.S. explicitly rules out military action, focusing solely on persuasion and financial incentives to gain Greenlanders' support.
Danish and Greenlandic leaders have firmly rejected the annexation proposal, maintaining that Greenland's sovereignty is not negotiable.
The plan highlights Greenland's strategic importance due to its natural resources and key Arctic position as global warming opens new sea routes.
