White House Studying Cost of Greenland Takeover

“The White House is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal government to control Greenland as a territory, the most concrete effort yet to turn President Donald Trump’s desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable policy,” the Washington Post reports.

“While Trump’s demands elicited international outrage and a rebuke from Denmark, White House officials have in recent weeks taken steps to determine the financial ramifications of Greenland becoming a U.S. territory, including the cost of providing government services for its 58,000 residents.”
