    Denmark spends $661million a year on Greenland that includes healthcare, infrastructure, education etc.

    That’s almost $12000 a year per citizen a year.

    Getting $100k for losing what Greenland gets for being part of Denmark sounds like a selloff and considering what life in the US is, it would be a terrible deal to take

    He is basically offering to pay the same amount that Denmark spends in Greenland in one year, to buy it.
