Hannity Says U.S. Should Give $100,000 To Everyone in Greenland: No-Brainer'

"Fox News host Sean Hannity said the U.S. should give a cool $100,000 to every person in Greenland as part of President Donald Trump's attempt to acquire the Danish territory. This month, Reuters reported that officials in the Trump administration have floated the idea of giving between $10,000 and $100,000 to each one of Greenland's 56,000 residents. Trump has obsessed over Greenland and says the U.S. must acquire it for national security reasons."

"Trump has also said taking Greenland is what I feel is psychologically needed for success. In a message to the prime minister of Norway, Trump raged against the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which declined to award him the Peace Prize he has long sought. The president cryptically claimed, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

"On Monday's Hannity, the host backed the plan to shell out $100,000 ($5.6 billion total) to every inhabitant of Greenland. Donald Trump's forever in a state of negotiation, Hannity told Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO). Everything's negotiable. A $100,000 for every person in Greenland on average making 60 grand a year Denmark's not exactly been generous to them. They don't have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do."

U.S. officials reportedly considered offering between $10,000 and $100,000 to each of Greenland's roughly 56,000 residents as part of a proposal to acquire the Danish territory. President Trump has repeatedly focused on Greenland, framing acquisition as a national security objective and saying taking Greenland is psychologically needed for success. Fox News host Sean Hannity endorsed a $100,000 payment per person and argued the United States could better develop Greenland's natural resources. Trump criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee and suggested he can now prioritize what is proper for the United States. Denmark has held NATO military exercises on the island, and Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt voiced support for Trump's negotiating posture.
