Medvedev Suggests Trump and Musk Buy Greenland Instead of U.S. Annexation; Population 56,000, Total Cost $56 Billion
Dec 29, 2024, 11:49 PM
Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian official, has suggested that rather than the United States annexing territories like Canada, Greenland, or Britain, private individuals such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk could purchase these lands. Medvedev's comments highlight the ongoing discourse surrounding U.S. interest in Greenland, which has been reignited by President-elect Trump's recent remarks about the territory. The leader of Greenland has since clarified that the island is not for sale. Discussions about U.S. ownership of Greenland have included considerations of its strategic importance in the Arctic, with various commentators emphasizing its potential role in U.S. national security. Some have even proposed financial incentives, suggesting that the U.S. could offer $1 million to each of Greenland's approximately 56,000 residents to facilitate such a transition, amounting to a total cost of $56 billion. This proposal reflects a broader interest in the Arctic region, which is increasingly viewed as a battleground for power and resources.
