US EditionPeople Just Discovering Last Land Denmark Sold to the US Was Epstein Island
Social media users mistakenly link Trump's Greenland bid to Epstein's island, which was privately bought by Epstein in 1998 and remains under investigation.
- Recently, social media users jokingly framed Little Saint James — Epstein Island — as the last major territory Denmark sold to the United States, while President Donald Trump's renewed push for Greenland and an online U.S. flag map post reignited the comparison.
- The 1917 sale shows the United States paid $25 million in gold to Denmark for the Danish West Indies, acquiring Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix.
- Jeffrey Epstein, financier, privately purchased Little Saint James in 1998, which later became central to criminal investigations and civil lawsuits.
- Many are calling for release of visitor records amid recently unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files, while European leaders defended Danish sovereignty and U.S. lawmakers opposed using force.
- Policy signals have increased diplomatic friction as President Donald Trump cited "national security" and announced a 10/percent tariff starting February/1, threatening 25/percent if Greenland isn't sold.
