Donald Trump Jr. is flying to Greenland on Tuesday as his president-elect father refuses to back off his threats to try to acquire the strategically located land, a source familiar with the trip confirmed to The Post.
Don Jr. will not be meeting with any government officials but instead be scoping out the island to “shoot some fun video content for podcasting,” the source said.
President-elect Donald Trump has been making waves in recent weeks by claiming he wants the US to attain “ownership” of Greenland, harking back to his original pitch he made in his first term about trying to expand America’s territory to include the large Denmark-owned island.
A local Denmark outlet first reported the Don Jr. visit with Greenland’s Department of Foreign Affairs, also noting there was no official government visit planned.
The rhetoric from President-elect Trump has already prompted Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede to shoot back that the mineral-rich island is “not for sale and will never be for sale.”
The prime minister declared in his New Year’s speech that the island is seeking independence from the Kingdom of Denmark as part of a movement to remove its “shackles of colonialism.
“It is about time that we ourselves take a step and shape our future, also with regard to who we will cooperate closely with and who our trading partners will be,” the PM said in the weeks after Trump’s threats.

First off, Denmark heavily subsidizes Greenland, and supplies a minimal defense.

They just bolstered defense with an additional 2 dog sled teams.

Louisiana Purchase II!
Oh thank goodness
Because I was gonna have to.....
Holy Heck what a Titanic swamping Greenland would trigger if it capsized!! Lol
He didn’t threaten, he offered. Liberal media always lies.
Excellent point!
LOL
Just plain interesting...
They would be a territory, not a state. They would need considerably more population to become a state.
Territorial status is very desirable. No income taxes.
Many Alaskans deplored becoming a state.
Being on a little island with the possibility of becoming part of the U.S. is very attractive. We spend billions studying lesbians to see why they’re fat so a few billion to buy Greenland is ok in my book.
Not a State.
A territory.
Ice Station Zebra plan for non-fireable federal workers.
Just establish a base there for all leftist useless employees. A navy surplus grey desk. Hundreds in a hanger. Time clock.
They go in. Clock in. No cell or computer or phone.
They clock out when the klaxon alerts.
They get paid or quit.
Also a holding location for illegals. Tents. Be a bit chilly. Or they can go home.
I believe Denmark actually sent a frigate. Possibly I can check on that, later today...
“threats”
Usually expect better from the NY Post.
Interesting visit and timing.

Hmmmm... Good idea. We’ll be threatening Carmax one of these days, I think.
I wonder if Don Jr.’s new socialite GF is into hunting. She doesn’t seem like the type.
I think a better match for him would be Danica Patrick. She seems more down to earth.
