President-elect Donald Trump has intensified his calls for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, describing control of the Danish territory as "an absolute necessity." On Monday he announced that his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., would visit Greenland this week as part of efforts to engage with the island.
"My son, Don Jr., and various representatives will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside world."
