The American Clifford Stanley is in Nuuk to collect signatures and investigate support for the US taking over Greenland.
The American's actions have attracted a lot of attention in recent days.
He says in an interview with Sermitsiaq that he himself believes that he is there to help people.
- I am trying to give the Greenlandic people an opportunity. It is up to the people themselves. It is not my choice. It is their choice, says 86-year-old Clifford Stanley to Sermitsiaq.
According to Clifford's proposal, each person in Greenland should have 200,000 dollars, which cannot be touched by any authorities. The money should come from the USA, he says himself.
He explains that he will create a database with the results of his study and provide the information to authorities in both Greenland and the United States, as well as the police and universities and the Greenlandic people.
According to Clifford Stanley, he has met two to three people in Greenland who have been interested in his project, but several have also scolded him, and he has felt threatened.
Clifford Stanley refers to previous studies in which an overwhelming majority have said no to becoming part of the United States:
- I would like to change it to 85 percent saying okay to it, he says.
Regarding the large amount of money for each person in Greenland, Clifford Stanley says that he does not have the money himself, but that it must come from the United States, and he sees himself as a sales broker who, if he gets consent from enough Greenlanders and the American government, can try to get a deal done.
