Mininguaq Kleist, permanent secretary for the Greenland foreign affairs department, told The Associated Press that Trump Jr has planned to stay on the island for only 4-5 hours.
Trump Jr's visit came after the upcoming US President expressed his desire to acquire Greenland (an autonomous territory, part of the Kingdom of Denmark).
The visit is also crucial as Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Egede called for independence from Denmark in his New Year's speech.

Why has Trump Jr gone to Greenland?
As per the reports, Trump Jr visited Greenland for a day to shoot videos for his podcast.
“I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA.’ My son, Don Jr., and various representatives will be travelling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights,” President-elect Donald Trump posted on his social media site on Monday night, referring to his “Make America Great Again” movement," a person familiar with the situation has been reported saying by the Voice of America.
"Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our nation,” Trump wrote. “We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside world. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” the source further added.
Trump Jr came into the headlines during the 2024 presidential election campaign as he played a vital role in selecting an official for Trump's upcoming term in the White House.
