Somewhat of a random fact: the last time Denmark sold an island to the US was in 1917. That island was Little Saint James, more commonly known today as “Epstein Island.”

If I was allowed to quote boost I would have used yours. But I will create a reference.

The fact that the island is part of the Virgin Island is a bit cynical too... 🤔

Makes me wonder, what plans does T have with an even bigger island?

And ofc, as a last-minute clause, USA promised to honour Denmark's claim to Greenland as part of the deal to sell them the Epstein Island.

The United States purchased Little Epstein Island from Denmark in 1917, after recognizing Danish sovereignty over the entirety of Big Epstein Island in 1916. Text over a globe showing the North Atlantic with Greenland labeled "Big Epstein Island" and Little Saint James island labeled "Little Epstein Island."
