For the right price, America could probably it. There are only 56,000 Greenlanders, meaning that you could give each a million dollars at $56b, only about 1% of the federal budget. Do Greenlanders feel that attached to Denmark that they would refuse a million bucks?
- vinyl7 2y agoA million USD isn't very much these days

If you own just a little land and you get $1M can be a good deal but if you own a lot, then you will expect premium on top of what its worth and $1M not going to cut it. If everyone gets accordingly to what they own, then those who will receive non-life changing amount wouldn't accept the deal. So the true price would be something like $1M each + current value of their property + premium. Then you can own all the private land on Greenland if someone stubborn doesn't refuse to sell. Then what do you do about the rest of the land? Pay Denmark? How much? Start a war with Denmark? Maybe some kind of other deals can be possible but $56B isn't going to cut it.
