US to Send $10,000 Checks to EACH Greenlander to Allow the US ANNEX Their Land

Welcome back, everyone. I hope you’re doing well today. Thank you so much for joining me.

If you haven’t already, please make sure that you are subscribed to WorldAffairsAndContext.com for more content. I certainly appreciate your support. Today, I want to talk to you about something that might sound like it came from a political thriller, but it’s actually very real.

It’s about the United States President Donald Trump and his plans to acquire Greenland. Greenland is the world’s largest island. It is currently an autonomous territory of Denmark.

What started as a surprising comment has now taken a more strategic and official shape in U.S. policy. For years, Donald Trump publicly expressed interest in buying Greenland, which many initially dismissed as political theater, of course, but now, according to the New York Times, this goal has moved beyond rhetoric. U.S. government agencies have received formal instructions to pursue this idea, and not through force, but through persuasion.

This isn’t about a military takeover. It is a PR campaign, one that involves careful messaging and strategic influence, as well as your taxpayer money, of course, Americans. So how does the United States plan to make this happen? Officials say the approach is based on soft power.

Instead of using military force, Trump’s advisers have discussed launching advertising and social media campaigns aimed directly at the Greenlandic population. It is, of course, a rather small population, just 57,000 people. So naturally, the underlying assumption here might be that the United States can quote-unquote purchase them without them even realizing it.

Well, what’s the goal, you may ask? Well, the goal is to convince them that joining the United States is in their best interest. Part of this campaign includes educating Greenlanders about their shared heritage with Alaska’s Inuit people. The message being pushed is that the United States understands and values their culture, just like it values the Inuit culture, of course, and it never repressed it in any shape or form.

And the flip side of that message is that Denmark is the bad guy and it has not served them well. So it’s about creating that evil other, which is, of course, a very well-known political move. And in this case, that evil other is Denmark, while the United States wanting to take over Greenland to serve its geostrategic agenda against China and Russia in the Arctic Circle is the good guy.

Trump’s team argues that only the United States can protect Greenland from geopolitical threats like Russia and China, and that America would help Greenlanders thrive economically. Why exactly Russia and China seek to threaten Greenland, since they are not really the ones threatening a takeover, would likely be excluded from this public education campaign, I would assume, which is, of course, going to be funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars. Now, how is this playing out on the ground in Greenland? The recent elections might help offer some insight.

A political party that supports faster independence and closer ties with the United States came in second place, but still only earned a quarter of the vote. So while there is some support for change, it’s far from a majority view. People do not want this.

Many Greenlanders remain deeply opposed to the idea of becoming part of the United States, as they rightfully should be, because they want to remain autonomous, and they likely don’t want to become just another state. They probably know the fate of the Inuit people to begin with, and other indigenous people of North America, and so, of course, they can probably draw their own conclusions. The New York Times article tells us that the White House wants to, after educating them, it will provide financial incentives, or simply try to purchase those 57,000 people whose home is Greenland.

Trump’s administration reportedly considered replacing Denmark’s 600 million annual subsidies with direct payments. So these are going to be direct checks going to Greenlanders. Each check is going to be around $10,000 per resident, according to this article.

Some White House advisors actually believe that this would be worth the cost, especially if it opens access to Greenland’s valuable natural resources, which include rare earth minerals, oil, uranium, and more. So essentially, here’s how this is going to play out. A United States taxpayer will send a check, a $10,000 check, to a person in Greenland every single year, and if this strategy actually works, in turn, U.S. corporations owned by the Elon Musks of the world would get access to Greenland’s natural resources to enrich their shareholders.

Unsurprisingly, Denmark strongly opposes this idea. The Danish government has repeatedly said that Greenland is not for sale, it is not for sale, it’s never been for sale, and it cannot be annexed according to international law. So we’ve got the Danish government and the Greenland population, the majority of the population, saying, no, we actually don’t want this, we’re not in favor of becoming part of the United States to be exploited for our natural resources and, of course, our strategic location against your adversaries.

Protests have taken place in Greenland itself, and Danish officials have pushed back quite firmly as well. In fact, during a recent visit by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, Denmark urged the United States to change its tone and instead focus on, guess what, on collaboration instead of trying to threaten and take over their land. Imagine that.

The entire world now says, let’s collaborate, stop the threats, stop these arguments, let’s work things out. But despite the opposition, Donald Trump appears to remain confident that Greenland must be part of the United States. As recently as March, he declared that acquiring Greenland is, quote, 100 percent going to happen.

During an address to Congress, he emphasized that control over the island is essential in his view, not just for the United States national security, but for global stability as well. His team has already held several National Security Council meetings and also issued new guidelines to various federal agencies. To sum it up, what once sounded like a wild political idea has become a serious and strategic campaign.

The United States, under Trump’s influence, is pursuing Greenland not through invasion, of course, but through influence, using policy, persuasion, quite possibly NGOs, and, of course, promises of prosperity. So, the usual spiel. Whether or not this will succeed remains to be seen.

But what is clear at this time is that the Arctic island is now firmly in the middle of a high-stakes geopolitical chess game. Thank you for watching. Let me know whether you are in favor or if you are against the United States acquiring Greenland and why.
