Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Greenland on Tuesday as his father, President-elect Trump, made comments that sparked speculation that the U.S. might try to acquire the Danish territory.

Trump Jr. landed in Nuuk, the capital of the Arctic territory, to meet with locals, visit cultural sites and film videos for a podcast. The president-elect released a video showing a plane with “TRUMP” written on it landing in Nuuk.

“Don Jr. and my representatives are landing in Greenland,” Trump wrote. “The reception was great. You and the free world need safety, security, strength and PEACE! This is a deal that has to happen. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump also spoke to locals on speakerphone in a video that his supporters shared online.

A familiar source told Fox News Digital on Monday that Trump Jr. is “stopping by for a quick day trip to film some fun video content for podcasts. He will not meet with government officials or political figures.”

The trip comes as President-elect Trump seeks to buy the mineral-rich, geographically important area.
