Donald Trump's administration has developed a plan for the capture of Greenland, without using force. The main purpose is to influence the public opinion of the Greenlanders, to convince them to "ask" about joining the United States. About it reports The New York Times.
The plan was discussed at several meetings of the US National Security Council and provides for the involvement of several government agencies. In particular, this plan provides informing the 57,000th population of Greenland about the benefits of joining the United States, in particular through advertising and campaigns on social networks. One of the main messages is the appeal to the joint heritage of the Greenland and Inuit, the indigenous population of Alaska.
The Trump administration also considers financial incentives for the island's residents. Among the proposals are annual subsidies of $ 10,000 for each Greenlandian, which is a significant alternative to $ 600 million, which Denmark provides Greenland annually.
In addition, some officials believe that the costs of these subsidies can be offset by new income from the extraction of Greenland's natural resources, such as rare earth minerals, copper, gold, uranium and oil.
