677d51678f08b46ac60bf0cd](The Guardian)[/url] Donald Trump Jr arrives in Greenland after father mulls buying Danish-governed island
Donald Trump Jr is in Greenland, the Danish-governed Arctic territory that Donald Trump has mused about incorporating into the United States.
Photographers have captured the president-elect’s eldest son on a snowy tarmac in Nuuk, the largest city on the island that is an autonomous part of Denmark.
The Associated Press reports that Trump Jr is making a personal visit to the island, which Denmark has shown no interest in turning over to the United States. Here’s more: The Danish state broadcaster reported that Donald Trump Jr’s plane landed in Nuuk, capital of the vast and icy Arctic territory that has some 57,000 residents. Local media broadcast footage of him walking across a snowy tarmac.
In a statement, Greenland’s government said Trump Jr’s visit would take place “as a private individual” and not as an official visit and that Greenlandic representatives would not meet with him. Greenland is an autonomous territory that’s part of Denmark.
Trump Jr is in Greenland for a day trip to shoot video content for podcasting, according to a person familiar with the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Mininguaq Kleist, permanent secretary for the Greenland foreign affairs department, told The Associated Press that authorities were informed that Trump Jr would stay for about four to five hours.
Neither Trump Jr’s delegation nor Greenlandic government officials had requested a meeting, Kleist said.
The visit nonetheless had political overtones. The president-elect recently voiced a desire – also expressed during his first presidency – to acquire the territory in the Arctic, an area of strategic importance for the US, China, Russia and others. The world’s largest island, Greenland sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and is 80% covered by an ice sheet.
On Truth Social, the president-elect posted footage of his son’s plane landing, and wrote: Don Jr. and my Reps landing in Greenland. The reception has been great. They, and the Free World, need safety, security, strength, and PEACE! This is a deal that must happen. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!
