Trump Jr. visits Greenland: a private trip with big plans!

Donald Trump Jr. is expected on Tuesday in Greenland, and for good reason! According to the local government, it is a private visit where no official meetings with government officials are planned. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mininnguaq Kleist, confirmed that he was not informed about the exact intentions. Nevertheless, Trump plans a one-day stay in Nuuk to create video content for his blog, such as reported.

The background of this trip is illuminated by the statements of his father, the designated president Trump, who has repeatedly expressed interest in the purchase of Greenland. According to Fox News , the presidential son was looking forward to "a short visit" to "have a little fun" to visit cultural sites. The trip takes place at a time when the interest of the Americans is intensified in the mineral and strategically important territory and President Trump has described Greenland's acquisition as an "absolute need".

Greenland's answer remains clear

Greenland, unimpressed by these ambitions, has made it clear that it is not for sale. In his New Year's address, Prime Minister Mute Eggede recognized the need for independence from Denmark, but not that of the United States. "Greenland belongs to us," emphasized Eggede. Despite historical American interests in Greenland, including attempts to buy the area in the 19th century, the Greenland government rejects all sales offers rigorously, which also underlines the attitude of Eubeede. "We must not lose our long struggle for freedom," said the Prime Minister. The regional discussion shows how incompatible the wishes of the American political leadership with the national interests of Greenland.
