America's offer: More cash for Greenland than Denmark provides

Vice President Vance reiterated, "What the president has said is we could give the people of Greenland way more money than [Denmark]." Vance also noted that Greenlanders receive about $60,000 per year per person from Denmark.

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.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who is in Greenland, criticized President Trump for his territorial claims over the island. She suggested dialogue with Washington about enhancing security in the Arctic, emphasizing that it is not permissible to occupy another country, even in the name of international security.

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.

To recall: J.D. Vance recently visited Greenland. The planned three-day visit was cut short to one day because the American delegation did not receive a warm welcome.
