THE GUARDIAN: Donald Trump’s son to make ‘private’ visit with no government meetings scheduled, island’s foreign secretary says
Donald Trump Jr is expected to land in Greenland on Tuesday, hours after his father reiterated his interest in taking control of the Arctic autonomous territory, pledging to “make Greenland great again”.
Trump Jr said in a podcast that aired on Monday that he was “not buying Greenland” but that he was going on a “very long, personal day trip”. He added: “I’m hopping on Trump Force 1 and landing in Greenland tomorrow morning.”
The visit is taking place against the backdrop of escalating tensions between Greenland and Denmark as the Trump administration prepares to take office. » | Miranda Bryant | Nordic correspondent and agencies | Tuesday, January 7, 2025

There is trouble ahead when Donald Trump re-enters the White House. The American electorate really have been foolish to re-elect Trump. They will deserve all they get as a result. Unfortunately, we in the rest of the world will not. I loathe what is being done to the USA. Its politics is corrupt, and it is full of grifters. Its politics also has a propensity to metastasize around the world like cancer. – © Mark Alexander
