Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on Tuesday, fueling speculation regarding American interest in the resource-abundant Arctic territory. This visit follows his father, President-elect Donald Trump, expressing renewed enthusiasm for the region.
Trump Jr. landed via private jet around 1250 GMT, as reported by a livestream from Nuuk airport, and characterized the trip as a personal visit.
“I am not purchasing Greenland. Interestingly, I am actually embarking on a lengthy personal day trip to Greenland,” Trump Jr. stated in his podcast on Monday, emphasizing that he was there as a tourist.
President-elect Trump, set to assume office on January 20, had previously lauded the island on his social media platform, Truth Social, vowing to “MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” He remarked, “Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation.”
In response, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede has reiterated that the island is not for sale, while also intensifying calls for independence from Denmark in his New Year address.
