The New York Times revealed a serious move within the administration of US President Donald Trump to launch a controversial plan aimed at including Greenland Island, the largest island in the world, through direct financial incentives for its residents.
According to the newspaper, the plan includes an annual offer of $ 10,000 per Greenlandy citizen, as an alternative to the annual financial support provided by Denmark, which is estimated at $ 600 million, in an attempt to make the proposal more attractive to the island’s residents.
The “New York Times” indicated that what was previously seen as a symbolic political position today has become a actual political project under study and planning, with the participation of several bodies and ministries within the American administration.
Exploiting the natural resources that Greenland abounds
The American plan aims to exploit the natural resources that Greenland abounds, in addition to its strategic military importance in the Arctic region, which explains the increasing interest in Washington in recent years.
The report pointed out that in the event of this plan, it may make a major shift in US -European relations, especially with Denmark, which oversees Greenland, and opens a widespread discussion on the legitimacy of land acquisition through financial temptations in the modern geopolitical context.
