WASHINGTON—Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Greenland on Jan. 7 as his father, President-elect Donald Trump, has repeatedly called for the United States to acquire the northern-Atlantic country.

“Greenland is beautiful!!!” he posted on X.

The trip is private as Trump Jr. is there to shoot video as part of a podcast and will not meet with Greenlandic representatives.

The incoming U.S. president announced the visit in a Truth Social post on Jan. 6.

“I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA,’” he said, referring to his Make America Great Again movement.

“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. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.

Trump also announced his son’s arrival in the country, which is owned by Denmark but is autonomous. He was accompanied by pro-Trump influencer Charlie Kirk and Sergio Gor, who will be in charge of personnel in the Trump White House.

“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,” he posted on Truth Social.

Despite Trump’s ambition to have Greenland be owned by the United States, the European country’s prime minister said it is not giving it up.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Jan. 7 that Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede “has been very, very clear … that there is a lot of support among the people of Greenland that Greenland is not for sale and will not be in the future either.”

Nonetheless, Egede has called for Greenland to be independent.

In a TV interview on Jan. 7, Frederiksen said that Greenland’s future is up to its people.

“On one hand, I am really happy regarding the rise in American interest in Greenland,” he said. “But of course it is important that it takes place in a way where it is the Greenlanders’ decision, what their future holds.” [delete]

In order for Greenland to be independent from Denmark, a referendum would be required.

Trump announced last month that he will nominate Ken Howery as his ambassador to Denmark.

“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” said Trump in his announcement.
