Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President-elect Donald Trump, has arrived in Greenland for what he has described as a "very long, personal, day-trip." However, it comes after his father repeatedly voiced his desire for the U.S. to take control of the autonomous Danish territory.

Trump Jr. has no planned meetings with government officials, and Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede recently made it clear the autonomous island will not be sold. "Greenland is ours.
