Donald Trump Jr. was promised a large crowd of Greenlanders when he landed at the Nuuk airport Tuesday. Instead, he got, at best, a handful of fans for his unofficial visit.
Aboard “Trump Force One” to Greenland, Sergio Gor, a best friend of Trump’s and the participating director of the White House personnel office, told Trump Jr. that a significant number of other people would show up.
“The total city appears, I think, at the airport,” Gor said in a teaser clip of the art of the increase in Apple TV documentation on the resurgence and presidential victory of Donald Trump.
A few hours later, upon his arrival in Greenland, he gave the impression that some locals appeared to greet Trump Jr. and his team.
A clip of the group arriving showed a small gathering of people outside of the Nuuk airport, waving to Trump Jr. One video, taken from a nearby road, showed a few locals getting out of their vehicles to take photos of “Trump Force One” landing.
A video taken inside the airport showed 20 or so Greenlanders waiting at the terminal for the U.S. president’s eldest son. By the time Trump Jr. and his team departed from the terminal, it appeared more locals had joined the welcome crowd, but it had remained relatively reserved.
Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, is a city of less than 20,000, according to the United Nations.
Trump Jr. happened weeks after Trump has revived the calls to the United States to win Greenland, an autonomous territory in Denmark. On Tuesday, the president -elect said that he did not exclude the use of the US army to take the country.
Greenland Premier Mute Egede and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have repeatedly said the island is “not for sale.”
“Greenland is ours. We are not on sale and we will never be to sell. We will not have to lose our long struggle for freedom, ”said Egede in December.
Trump Jr. ‘s short film was considered a non-public visit, not official business. Greenland’s representatives said they would not find it. The president-elect’s son said the purpose of the was to “talk to other people and see what they think about America. “
Local media noted that there were “several” supporters who showed up dressed in MAGA products, but the maximum were “curious citizens” who sought to attend at the desirable time.
A source familiar with The Hill told the Hill that Trump Jr. ‘s stopover was “filming a laughable video content for podcasting. “
