Donald Trump Jr has arrived in Nuuk, Greenland, along with Turning Point USA MAGAt Charlie Kirk, on a peaceful tourist visit to greet the locals — not government officials — two weeks after King Donald declared that “ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity” for US national security.
“So, I’m going as a tourist. But apparently someone leaked that, so it made all sorts of news, so I figured I’d address it here. No meetings with the government officials, none of that. But I do love Greenland,” Junior said. Another source said Jr. is visiting Greenland just for the day to shoot videos for a podcast.

“I am hearing that the people of Greenland are MAGA.” — King Donald Trump
“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!”
Officials from Greenland and Denmark have pushed back both explicitly and implicitly against Trump’s desire to purchase the island.
- Greenland with a population of 57,000 has autonomy but depends on subsidies from Denmark.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said of Junior’s visit that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders” and that only the locals could determine their future, but admitted that Denmark needed close co-operation with the US, a NATO ally.
- Conservative People’s Party of Denmark politicians are equally frustrated.
