According to Planet Chronicle Digital's source, he will not be meeting with any government officials or political figures.

The trip is undertaken as President-elect Trump aims to acquire the mineral-rich and strategically significant land.

American interest in Greenland dates back to the 1800s.

In 1867, the State Department considered purchasing both Greenland and Iceland due to their strategic significance, as reported by Planet Chronicle. Following World War II, Denmark rejected a $100 million offer from President Harry Truman for the island.

The largest expansion of American territory in history would be achieved by acquiring the land, surpassing the Louisiana Purchase.

Last week, Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede stated that the country is not interested.

"We must not lose our long struggle for freedom," he said. "Greenland is ours, and we are not for sale."
