Donald Trump Jr. is expected to travel to Greenland Tuesday after his father, President-elect Trump, signaled an interest<\/a> in U.S. “ownership and control” of the country, Fox News Digital has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source familiar with Trump Jr.’s plans told Fox News Digital that the president-elect\u2019s son, who is traveling in a personal capacity, is set to arrive in Nuuk, Greenland, midday Tuesday for meetings with locals, to visit cultural sites and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As someone who has traveled to some fascinating places across the globe as an outdoorsman, I\u2019m excited to stop into Greenland for a little bit of fun this week,” Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source familiar told Fox News Digital that Trump Jr. is “popping in for a quick day-long trip to shoot some fun video content for podcasting.”<\/p>\n

“He will not be meeting with any government officials or political figures,” the source told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trip comes as President-elect Trump seeks to buy the mineral-rich, geographically important territory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

American interest in Greenland dates back to the 1800s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1867, the State Department explored buying both Greenland and Iceland, recognizing their strategic importance, Fox News reported. After World War II, Denmark turned down a $100 million offer from President Harry Truman for the island.<\/p>\n

Acquiring the land would mark the largest expansion of American territory in history, topping the Louisiana Purchase.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede<\/a> said last week that the country\u00a0is not interested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Greenland is ours,” he said. “We are\u00a0not for sale, and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
