It's a lease. We pay $4,085 / year for it.
AI Overview
The U.S. lease on Cuba refers to the perpetual agreement for Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, established by a 1903 treaty after the Spanish-American War, granting the U.S. jurisdiction and control over the area while acknowledging Cuba's ultimate sovereignty. The lease, which has no fixed end date and requires mutual consent for termination, provides the U.S. a strategic naval presence, though Cuba's government disputes its legality and has largely refused to cash the annual rent checks.
Duration: The lease is perpetual, requiring mutual agreement for termination or U.S. abandonment.
Rent: Initially $2,000 in gold coins annually, adjusted in 1934 to the equivalent of $4,085 U.S. dollars.

AI Overview
The cost of 45 square miles of land in Haiti would range broadly, but based on typical rural land prices, it would likely be hundreds of millions of US dollars, potentially exceeding a billion US dollars depending heavily on the specific location and land type.
