"A liberal pundit called out the current presidential administration for its reported plan to send up to $100,000 to each resident of Greenland in order to convince them to support secession, just as the president raised taxes on all U.S. residents last year in the form of tariffs. 'Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*?????????' wrote MS NOW's Chris Hayes on Bluesky."
"Reuters reports that U.S. officials are discussing sending payments of $10,000 to $100,000 to Greenland residents as a bribe to persuade them to secede from Denmark and possibly join the United States. The president has been obsessed with annexing Greenland, and his administration has pointedly said that military force is not off the table. Greenland, with a population of 57,000, is part of Denmark, a NATO ally. Attacking a NATO member nation would require all NATO nations to join in their defense."
U.S. officials are discussing sending payments of $10,000 to $100,000 to Greenland residents to persuade secession and potential U.S. accession. The proposal targets Greenland's roughly 57,000 residents and is framed as a financial inducement to separate from Denmark. The administration has expressed interest in annexing Greenland and has not ruled out military options. A 2025 poll found 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the United States. The plan prompted criticism noting that U.S. consumers face higher costs from recent tariffs that the president says generated several hundred billion dollars, though those figures lack clear verification.
