Donald Trump Jr. is set to visit Greenland on Tuesday, following his father's recent comments expressing interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory. The Danish foreign ministry acknowledged the planned visit but clarified that it is not an official American visit. The island's permanent secretary for foreign affairs stated that the trip is a private visit, reportedly intended for shooting video footage for a podcast.
The Trump transition team has been contacted for comment on the visit. This visit comes after President-elect Donald Trump's public statements about the strategic importance of Greenland for national security and global freedom. He had previously suggested purchasing Greenland during his first term as president, a proposal that was firmly rejected by the Greenlandic government, which emphasized that the territory was not for sale.
