Donald Trump appeared to call his son, Donald Trump Jr, while he was on a trip to the autonomous Arctic territory on Tuesday, 7 January.
It came as the president-elect continued to express an interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark.
In a phone call, the elder Trump appeared to tell Greenland residents: “We’ll treat you well.”
Donald Trump Jr described the fly-in visit as a “personal day-trip” to greet the locals and said no meetings were planned with government officials.
