According to NBC News, the purchase of Greenland could cost the United States up to $700 billion if Trump decides to implement his idea.
The channel reports that experts and former US officials prepared this estimate as part of a possible scenario planning.
NBC sources claim that Rubio has been instructed to prepare a proposal to purchase the territory in the coming weeks. The White House calls it a “high priority.”
The channel notes that alternative options are also being discussed. For example, a free association agreement with an expanded US military presence, which would be cheaper than a direct purchase.
