Donald Trump Jr is on a visit to Greenland even as his father Donald Trump, the US President-elect ratchets up his rhetoric to annexe the mineral-rich Danish territory. Officially, Trump Jr was in Greenland for a day trip to shoot video content for podcasting, but his visit nonetheless had political overtones. The president-elect has voiced a desire — also expressed during his first presidency — to acquire the territory in the Arctic, an area of strategic importance for the US, China, Russia and others. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday that the future of Greenland would be decided by Greenland, and called the United States Denmark’s most important ally. “Greenland is not for sale,” Frederiksen said, adding that “we need to stay calm and stick to our principles”.
