The sources asked for anonymity – talks about possible bribing of the Greenlanders were supposed to take place during internal, secret meetings. According to Reuters, paying the inhabitants of the island that Donald Trump would like to take over may be an idea for the US to “buy” Greenland.. This is one of the solutions discussed by the White House regarding the takeover of 57,000 inhabitants of Greenland, alongside forceful annexation using the American military.

Secret conversations in the USA. They are considering payments to the people of Greenland
Greenland became loud again after Donald Trump, after the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, returned to his plan to take over the island. For the first time, he expressed his desire for annexation just after winning the US presidential election in early 2025. Now there is even an idea of taking over the island by force, using the army. Another solution proposed by the US is the “purchase” of Greenland.
Both Denmark and the leaders of European countries reacted negatively to Donald Trump's demands, emphasizing that the US and Denmark are NATO allies bound by the obligation to protect each other. On Tuesday, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Britain and Denmark issued a joint statement saying that only Greenland and Denmark can decide on their relations.

Details about possible payments to Greenlanders are unknown. Reuters asked the White House about this. In response, his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt responded that Donald Trump and his national security advisers are “considering what a potential purchase could look like.”. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would meet his Danish counterpart next week in Washington to discuss the Greenland issue. The Danish embassy declined to comment, as did the Greenland representative office in Washington.
One of Reuters' sources admitted that discussions regarding payments to Greenlanders had taken place before, but had recently intensified and officials were considering higher amounts – up to PLN 100,000. hole. per person, which would give a total amount of almost USD 6 billion.
