The Trump administration is reportedly considering giving Greenlanders lump sum payments as part of its offer to purchase the territory from Denmark. According to Reuters, the payments discussed range from $10,000 to $100,000 per person. JUST IN – Trump considers paying "Greenlanders" $10,000 – $100,000 per person to join the U.S. and support secession from Denmark — Reuters pic.twitter.com/qVbv7IDTUx — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 8, 2026 Reuters has more: The idea of directly paying residents of Greenland, an overseas territory of Denmark, offers one explanation of how the U.S. might attempt to “buy” the island of 57,000 people, despite authorities’ insistence in Copenhagen and Nuuk that Greenland is not for sale. The tactic is among various plans being discussed by the White House for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military. But it risks coming off as overly transactional and even degrading to a population that has long debated its own independence and its economic dependence on Denmark. “Enough is enough … No more fantasies about annexation,” Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday after U.S. President Donald Trump again told reporters the U.S. needed to acquire the island. Leaders in Copenhagen and throughout Europe have reacted to comments by Trump and other White House officials asserting their right to Greenland in recent days with disdain, particularly given that the U.S. and Denmark are NATO allies bound by a mutual defense agreement. On Tuesday, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Britain and Denmark issued a joint statement, saying only Greenland and Denmark can decide matters regarding their relations. The White House is considering a “range of options” to acquire Greenland for “national security.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said using the U.S. military remains one of those options. White House Says “U.S. Military” Among “Range Of Options” To Acquire Greenland “President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” Leavitt said. “The President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal,” she continued. Trump previously said the United States needs Greenland from a “national security” standpoint.

Those include rare earth minerals mining projects, as well as hydroelectric power and other ventures. But these projects likely aren’t far enough along to satisfy Trump’s desire for dramatic results quickly, the people said. Little-known companies with rare earth assets in Greenland have seen share prices surge this year amid Trump’s renewed interest. Australian miner Energy Transition Minerals Ltd., which is developing a project in Kvanefjeld, has surged nearly 80% this year in Sydney. More ambitious ideas to bring Greenland closer to the US politically haven’t progressed amid the cool reception from the government there and in Denmark, the people said. “President Trump has been talking about the United States acquiring Greenland for over a year – even prior to taking office this term,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in response to a request for comment. “All core members of the President’s national security team are apprised of all major foreign policy updates. For obvious reasons, people who do not respect operational security and whine to Bloomberg with outright lies are not part of that group.” The use of force to take Greenland isn’t under serious consideration, according to the people familiar with the situation. Senior Republicans also have sought to push back this week against the idea that the US is considering military action. “We are not looking at doing a military operation” in Greenland, Senator Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Service Committee, told reporters Wednesday. “It would be great if Greenland decided they wanted to become a part of the United States, and if Denmark said we understand the reason why you want it. Let’s make a deal, but it would only be under appropriate conditions.” But Denmark, which has controlled Greenland as a territory since 1953, has rejected giving it up, brushing off a proposal from Trump in his first term to buy the island. Copenhagen’s offers to allow the US a greater military and economic presence there haven’t satisfied the Trump administration.
