White House Assessing Costs of Greenland Acquisition

The White House is evaluating the financial implications of controlling Greenland as territory, as reported by The Washington Post. Officials have been calculating the costs of providing government services to Greenland's 58,000 residents and assessing the potential resources Greenland could offer the United States.

One option being considered is presenting Greenland residents with a more favorable offer than the amount Denmark is willing to pay for the territory, which is reported to be $600 million per year.
