Epstein and the US bid for Greenland – the link you probably never knew (RT VIDEO)

The disgraced financier’s Caribbean island of human trafficking horrors was originally purchased from Denmark
Epstein and the US bid for Greenland – the link you probably never knew (RT VIDEO)

US President Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland from Denmark echoes another land transaction between the two nations – one that ultimately benefited Jeffrey Epstein.

In 1917, Washington paid Copenhagen $25 million in gold (roughly $633 million today) for part of the West Indies, now known as the US Virgin Islands. The sale included a small island called Little Saint James, which was purchased in 1998 by Epstein, a financier with alleged intelligence ties and extensive connections to global elites, including Trump.

Epstein was disgraced for sexually abusing girls and died in a prison cell while awaiting trial. US authorities maintain he committed suicide.

Notably, the original Virgin Islands sale included a US pledge not to object to Danish “political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.”
