Wyoming or Vermont at 1 million each would be sub trillion range. Seems like reasonable. Technically they could just transfer all the debt they hold to residents there and get deal done.

Maybe they should try this one.

The USA does pay rent for Guantanamo Bay but Cuba refuses to accept the payment. Foreign relations are bizarre.
