A source familiar told Fox News Digital on Monday that Trump Jr. is "popping in for a quick day-long trip to shoot some fun video content for podcasting. He will not be meeting with any government officials or political figures."
The trip comes as President-elect Trump seeks to buy the mineral-rich, geographically important territory.

American interest in Greenland dates back to the 1800s.
But Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said last week that the country is not interested.
"Greenland is ours," he said. "We are not for sale, and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom."
