Summary

Donald Trump Jr. left Greenland Tuesday after less than a day, following failed efforts to promote his father’s interest in purchasing the territory.

Greenlandic and Danish officials reiterated that Greenland is “not for sale,” with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen citing strong local opposition to the idea.

Before departing, Trump Jr. accused Danish media of spreading “fake news” but claimed Greenlanders “love America and Trump.”

    I have been watching Conan Without Borders and just coincidentally watched a 2019 episode where he goes to Greenland to arrange for its sale to the US. This was from the last time Trump was making noise about wanting Greenland during his first term.

    It was pretty funny. Needless to say the people of Greenland were less than jazzed about the prospect of joining the US.

      Probably even less enthused the longer this circus goes on.
