A small contingent traveling on Trump Force One, including Donald Trump Jr., was greeted warmly by MAGA hat-wearing supporters in Greenland on Tuesday after landing in the capital of Nuuk.
The trip came as President-elect Donald Trump continues his push to acquire the Danish territory off the northeast coast of Canada.
Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday: “I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA.’ My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights.”

Trump’s post included a video featuring a local man urging the president-elect to, “Buy us. Buy Greenland.”

Several people were on hand to greet Trump Jr. as he arrived at the Nuuk International Airport.
