"We could give the people of Greenland way more money than [Denmark]," declared U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance in a Friday interview with the American portal Newsmax. "The thing that I picked up on is they get about ... $60,000 per year per person in Greenland from Denmark," he emphasized.
Vance, when discussing payments to Greenlanders, referred to President Donald Trump's earlier suggestions, which were based on U.S. national security interests. The Vice President emphasized that the United States will protect its interests in Greenland regardless of the situation.
Vance expressed the belief that the residents of Greenland are striving for independence from Denmark. "Once they do that, we can have a conversation about the relationship we'll have with the United States in Greenland," he added.
According to "The Washington Post," the White House is analyzing the costs associated with potentially managing Greenland, including expenses on social services. One option under consideration is offering Greenland a more beneficial deal than the one it currently has with Denmark. "We'll pay you more than Denmark does," a source informed the newspaper.
Greenland, an autonomous territory dependent on Denmark, struggles with demographic and economic challenges. The island has a population of 56,000, with its main income source being fishing. Many young people emigrate to Denmark and other Nordic countries in search of better living conditions.
Greenland's society provides free healthcare, public education, and pensions, funded by Danish subsidies, as it is a largely self-governing Danish territory. Greenland has a strong social welfare system that includes free healthcare, public education, and pensions for all citizens.
So the US govt is willing to pay MORE into a social system that it is currently CUTTING many of the services for its OWN citizens. Doge is cutting those SAME SERVICES AND DEPTS in this country because its waste, fraud and corruption and yet willing to pay MORE into the same system in another country. And you all believe in this???Its a JOKE...its monopoly money..whatever doge is doing its for something OTHER than what they say it is. DOGE is the BIGGEST OKEYDOKE in the history of the world.
