In the USA, the cost of Greenland was named

US President Donald Trump's initial offer to buy Greenland could amount to about $2.2 billion. This was reported by Newsweek magazine on Monday, April 14, citing its own calculations.

"According to some estimates, the current US offer to purchase Greenland may exceed $2.2 billion," the publication says.

In the publication, this number was obtained by adding up the amount proposed in 1946 by former US President Harry Truman with the annual payments proposed by Trump.

Taking into account inflation, the former head of the White House offered $1.6 billion, while the current American leader claims $600 million in annual payments, which will amount to a $2.2 billion initial payment.

In December last year, the American leader said that for the United States, ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity. Prior to that, he expressed interest in buying the island from Denmark in 2019, but was refused. In 2025, Trump was also told that the island was not for sale and would not be, but Denmark could cooperate more with the United States.

On March 30, Greenland's new prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, announced that the United States would not receive the island. He explained that Greenland does not belong to anyone. According to him, "it was like that yesterday, it is like that today, and it will be like that in the future."
