Donald Trump’s administration is considering offering each gronellands a $ 10,000 annual check, as part of the plan to take control of the Danish Island, reports The New York Times.
Republican executive representatives consider that the cost of such payment could be compensated for revenues from the extraction of natural resources from the territory, which could include rare lands, copper, gold, uranium and oil.
The United States want to explore this way to attach the Arctic Island because of its strategic importance and reiterate its inhabitants that Denmark has abandoned them.
The check in question could be used to mobilize them for the cause of President Trump, says the newspaper.
The New York Times states that the US executive is considering replacing the $ 600 million of subsidies that Denmark currently gives to the island for $ 10,000 (about 8,800 euros) a year for each citizen of Granelândia.
Granelândia, according to the Danish government, is officially the largest non -continent island in the world.
