The eldest son of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Greenland on Tuesday for a private visit that has heightened speculation that the incoming U.S. administration could seek to take control of the Danish territory.

The Danish state broadcaster reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s plane landed in Nuuk, the capital of the vast and icy territory that has some 57,000 residents.

In a statement, Greenland's government said Trump Jr.'s visit would take place 'as a private individual' and not as an official visit and that Greenlandic representatives would not meet with him.{ai:summary}<p>Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Greenland for a private visit, sparking speculation about potential U.S. interest in the Danish territory under the incoming Trump administration.
