President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., arrived in Greenland Tuesday for a personal visit as Trump has renewed his suggestion in recent weeks that the Danish territory should become part of the U.S.—one of several controversial territorial takeovers Trump has floated, citing national security.

Trump Jr. landed in Nuuk, Greenland, Tuesday morning, according to multiple reports.

The president-elect confirmed his son landed in Greenland along with “my Reps,” saying Monday they “will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights.”

Trump Jr. is visiting Greenland as a “private individual” and will not meet with government officials, Greenland’s government said in a statement.

The president-elect’s son described himself as a tourist Monday, saying on his podcast he was taking a “"very long, personal day-trip."

Trump previously suggested in December and in 2019 that the U.S. should take ownership of Greenland, which is home to a major U.S. military base and has become increasingly important on a geopolitical scale in recent years as the Arctic Circle has melted and opened new North Atlantic shipping lanes, drawing interest from Russia and China.

Government leaders in Greenland and Denmark have rebuffed Trump’s suggestion.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
