Trump Jr. visits Greenland and Danish king changes royal coat of arms amid feud over Arctic territory
Trump weighed in on the issue on Christmas Eve, posting that “the ownership and control” of the Danish territory was “an absolute necessity” on Truth Social.
Hours later, the Danish government announced it would boost defense spending for the island by a “double digit billion amount,” or at least $1.5 billion. The timing of that announcement was an “irony of fate,” according to Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
But Trump has been undeterred.
“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,” he posted on Truth Social ahead of his son’s visit.
Trump Jr.’s trip was set to last four to five hours, according to the island’s permanent secretary for foreign affairs, Mininnguaq Kleist.
“We have not been briefed on the nature of his program, and therefore this is a private visit,” Kleist told Reuters.
