Donald Trump confirmed that his son, Donald Trump Jr., will visit Greenland amid calls for the U.S. to control the autonomous territory owned by Denmark. Trump expressed his belief that the people of Greenland support his ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign and that the territory would benefit from becoming part of the U.S. His son’s visit to Greenland is meant to explore the area and its potential for inclusion in the nation.
The president-elect has previously expressed interest in purchasing Greenland, stating that it is essential for the U.S. to own and protect the island. However, Greenland’s prime minister has made it clear that the territory is not for sale. Trump has also suggested expanding U.S. territory by taking control of the Panama Canal, which was rejected by the Panamanian president, who emphasized their country’s sovereignty and independence. Trump has even floated the idea of annexing Canada as the 51st state, although this proposal has not been taken seriously.
Overall, Trump’s interest in acquiring new territories and expanding U.S. control has faced pushback and skepticism from the leaders of these regions. The visit to Greenland by Donald Trump Jr. represents an effort to explore the potential benefits of including the territory within the United States.
