Trump Jr.’s visit occurred weeks after Trump re-ignited the calls for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. While aboard “Trump Force One” to visit Greenland, Sergio Gor, a Trump ally and the incoming director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, told Trump Jr. a significant number of people would show up.
Hours later, upon arriving in Greenland, it appeared just a few locals showed up to greet Trump Jr. and his team. Trump Jr.’s visit occurred weeks after Trump re-ignited the calls for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. On Tuesday, the president-elect said he would not rule out using the U.S. military to take the country.
Greenland Premier Mute Egede and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have repeatedly said the island is “not for sale.”. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Egede said in December.
Trump Jr.’s short trip was considered a personal visit, not official business. Greenland representatives said they would not meet with him. The president-elect’s son said the purpose of the trip was to “talk to people and see what they think about America.”.
