Trump Jr to visit World’s largest island, Greenland, ‘for a quick daylong trip’

Trump says that making Greenland a part of the United States is an absolute necessity

Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump on Monday said that his son, Donald J Trump Jr, would be travelling to Greenland, which he wants to make as an American territory.

World’s largest island, Greenland, is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. Soon after his electoral victory, Trump, 78, has been saying that he wants Greenland to become part of the United States.

“I am hearing that the people of Greenland are “MAGA.” My son, Don Jr, and various representatives will be travelling 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,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social Monday night.

“We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” he said. Along with the text, Trump also posted a video of a native from Greenland sporting a MAGA cap saying that people of Greenland would like to be part of the United States.

According to The Hill, Trump Jr would visit “for a quick daylong trip to shoot some fun video content for podcasting.” He will not meet with any government officials or political figures on this visit, the news website said.

On December 22, Trump had said that making Greenland a part of the United States is an absolute necessity. “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,” he said as he announced the nomination of Ken Howery as the US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark.
