  • πŸ“‰ Their influence has declined significantly since the turn of the century due to past decisions.

Proposal for Greenland's Integration

  • πŸ’° A potential strategy for integrating Greenland into the U.S. involves an Alaska-style trust fund for its 57,000 residents.
  • 🏦 This fund could provide benefits from oil, gas, and mineral royalties, aiming for each family to have at least a million dollars in 5-10 years.
