The Greenlander then added that he "loved Americans" and wanted to be free of the Danish government.
"We don't want to be colonized by Danish government anymore," he explained. "We get ripped [off] every year [with] our minerals from Greenland. We are the richest nation in the world. And we don't get to use it. Denmark's using us too much."
In his message, Trump confirmed that he plans to visit Greenland in the near future and that his son, Donald Trump, Jr., will be in the country soon. The president-elect said that he plans to see some of the island's "most magnificent areas and sights."
"Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation," Trump wrote on Monday. "We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!"
Trump's latest post comes two weeks after he first made headlines by expressing support for U.S. ownership of Greenland.
"[F]or purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," the president-elect's Truth Social post read.
