When the airport in Nuuk, Greenland, opened last November, it was celebrated as a milestone in the island’s plans to grow its tourism industry. Greenlandic and Danish ministers and business executives delivered a series of upbeat speeches before the inaugural flight on the new route between Nuuk and Copenhagen took off. The last speaker was the chairman of Copenhagen Airport’s board, who ended by quoting the famous Greenlandic Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen: “Adventure awaits those who are ready to seize it.”
Few would have imagined that just over one month later, Trump Force One, the private family airplane of the soon-to-be most powerful man in the world, would take off from West Palm Beach, Florida, and head to Nuuk’s new 2,200-meter runway. On board was Donald Trump Jr., who was on what seemed to be a public relations trip following his father’s stated desire to gain “ownership and control of Greenland.”
