Donald Trump, Jr. is traveling to Greenland amid his father’s renewed interest in the U.S. gaining control over the Danish territory.
The younger Trump reportedly has no plans to meet with any officials in Greenland during his visit Tuesday but the president-elect nonetheless linked the trip to his larger ambitions in a social media post.
“Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation,” Trump said Monday on Truth Social. “We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump last month revived a botched effort from his first term to acquire the territory from Denmark in 2019, calling "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" for U.S. national security. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in 2019 called Trump’s plan “absurd.”
Managing to piss off just about everyone not wearing a MAGA hat in the process, including American security officials.
