Donald Trump J arrives in Greenland as his father tells Denmark to ‘give up’


Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Greenland on Tuesday as his father, President-elect Trump, made remarks that sparked speculation that the United States may seek to acquire the Danish territory.

Trump Jr. landed in Nuuk, the Arctic territory’s capital, to meet locals, visit cultural sites and shoot a video for a podcast. The president-elect released a video showing a plane emblazoned with the word “TRUMP” landing in Nuuk.

“Don Jr. and my representatives are landing in Greenland,” Trump wrote. “The reception has been tremendous. They and the free world need safety, security, strength and PEACE! This is a deal that needs to be made. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump also spoke to residents via loudspeaker in a video his supporters shared online.

A close source told Fox News Digital on Monday that Trump Jr. “will be coming on a little day trip to film some fun video content for podcasting.” He will not meet any government officials or political figures.”

The trip comes as President-elect Trump seeks to purchase this mineral-rich and geographically important territory.

“We need Greenland for national security reasons,” Trump said.
