Odaily According to four informed sources, U.S. officials have discussed making one-time payments to Greenlanders in an attempt to persuade them to break away from Denmark and potentially "join" the United States. While the specific amount and method of payment remain unclear, sources revealed that U.S. officials, including White House officials, have discussed payment amounts ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per person. The idea of making direct payments to residents of Greenland, Denmark's overseas territory, could explain how the U.S. is trying to "buy" this island with a population of 57,000, despite both Danish and Greenlandic authorities insisting that Greenland is not for sale.
