Donald Trump Jr. to visit Greenland as president-elect ramps up calls for acquiring the territory
Donald Trump confirmed that his eldest son will visit Greenland amid increased calls by the president-elect that the U.S. should control the autonomous territory owned by Denmark.
Donald Trump on Monday confirmed that his eldest son will visit Greenland amid increased calls by the president-elect that the U.S. should control the autonomous territory owned by Denmark.
"I am hearing that the people of Greenland are 'MAGA,'" Trump wrote on his social media platform. "My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World."
The post appeared alongside a video clip of a person who can be heard saying that if he could tell Trump anything, he would tell him to "Buy Greenland."
Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News, which first reported his coming trip: “As someone who has traveled to some fascinating places across the globe as an outdoorsman, I’m excited to stop into Greenland for a little bit of fun this week.”
The visit comes after the president-elect suggested that the U.S. should open the door to buying the island. Trump expressed interest in the territory during his first term in office.Last month, Trump described owning and controlling Greenland as "an absolute necessity" for the U.S.
