MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!' Trump wrote on Truth Social with a video of Don Jr. landing after he was 'hearing that the people of Greenland are 'MAGA''.

Buy Greenland.' The man was filmed wearing a MAGA hat, stating to viewers he desired to be free of the Danish government and 'loved Americans.' 'Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World,' Trump wrote. For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.', stating 'Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale.' The country is an autonomous territory that's part of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, in a subsequent speech, Egede did emphasize interest in the country being independent from Denmark. 'It is about time that we ourselves take a step and shape our future, also with regard to who we will cooperate closely with, and who our trading partners will be,' he said
