It comes as his son, Donald Trump Jr, arrived in the Arctic island’s capital Nuuk on the “Trump Force One” private plane for a private visit.
“No, I am not buying Greenland,” Trump Jr said in a podcast on Monday, appearing to refer to his father’s recent comments. “Funny enough, I’m actually going on a very long personal day trip to Greenland.”
Trump, who takes office in a matter of weeks on 20 January, stated last month that US control of Greenland is an “absolute necessity.”
The president-elect wrote on Truth Social on Monday: “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!”
