According to Greenland's permanent secretary for foreign affairs, the visit by Trump Jr is strictly private. "We have not been briefed on the nature of his program, and therefore this is a private visit," Kleist stated.
Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, has rich mineral, oil, and natural gas resources. However, its economy remains largely reliant on fishing and Danish subsidies.
On his platform Truth Social, Trump articulated his vision for Greenland, stating, "Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation."
Greenland’s prime minister, Mute Egede, emphasized a desire for independence from Denmark, stating that it is time to "break free from the shackles of colonialism."
