Greenland, which US President-elect wants to annex, is a self-governing Danish territory covered in ice, with untapped mineral resources -- and geostrategic importance. In December, Trump said control of the Arctic island was "an absolute necessity" for "purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World".

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and does not rule out using military or economic power to get Denmark to hand over the mineral-rich and strategically important island.

Donald Trump's eldest son Donald Jr. arrived in Greenland's capital Nuuk on a private visit on Tuesday, a day after the U.S. president-elect reiterated his interest in taking control of the island, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Pedersen COPENHAGEN/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump Jr. is expected to visit Greenland on Tuesday, after his father, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, again expressed interest in gaining control over the vast Arctic island.

Greenland’s public broadcaster has been canvassing residents’ opinions on US President-elect Donald Trump’s pitch to buy the autonomous Danish territory – and some of their responses might raise some eyebrows.
