Donald Trump Jr. is expected to visit Greenland on Tuesday, a local government official told Reuters two weeks after Trump's father, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, expressed interest in gaining control over the vast Arctic island. No meetings were scheduled with representatives of the Greenlandic government, the island's permanent secretary for foreign affairs, Mininnguaq Kleist, told Reuters: "We have not been briefed on the nature of his program, and therefore this is a private visit."

Republicans are certainly pros at wasting time, energy, resources and looking like fuckin brainless clowns so this makes perfect sense.

It's always been a distraction while they just cut tax breaks and deals for themselves

He's got "business" in Greenland like his brother in Saudia Arabia

Reject him at customs

Yeah I’m kind of wondering why he’s allowed to enter given the family’s recent comments.

This feels like something they came up with to keep Don Jr. busy. Send him to Greenland, meet with nobody, stay there a while, report back or something.
