SUMMARY
Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland on Tuesday, intensifying speculation that the incoming Trump administration might pursue control of the mineral-rich Danish territory, which hosts a significant U.S. military base. Danish state media reported his arrival in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, where local footage showed him walking across a snowy tarmac. Greenland’s government clarified that the visit was private, with no planned meetings between Trump Jr. and Greenlandic officials. Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark with about 57,000 residents, confirmed Trump Jr. would spend only four to five hours there, reportedly to create podcast video content. The visit follows President-elect Trump’s assertions of Greenland's strategic importance, though Greenland’s Prime Minister, Múte Egede, firmly rejected the notion, stating the island “is not for sale and will never be for sale.” Denmark has not yet formally responded to the developments.
