Trump's Eldest Son Welcomed in Greenland, Alleged to Use Homeless People as 'Free Meal Bait'

Event Attendees Seen Wearing "MAGA" Hats
Some Spotted Handing Out $100 Bills to Passersby

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, has sparked controversy after it was revealed that he filled an event held last week in Greenland with homeless people recruited from the streets. On the 16th (local time), the British daily The Guardian reported that on the 7th, Trump Jr. visited Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and used homeless people to attend a luncheon event at a hotel with about 15 local participants.

The attendees at the event were wearing "MAGA hats" inscribed with "Make America Great Again." After calling his father, President-elect Trump, Trump Jr. played a message on speakerphone saying to them, "We will treat you well." The luncheon menu featured traditional Greenlandic dishes including fish and reindeer meat.

However, after the event, suspicions arose that homeless people had been recruited. In particular, Jørgen Bay-Kastrup, the representative of Hotel Hans Egede where the event was held, told The Guardian that some of the attendees were homeless people recruited from the streets by Trump Jr. and his associates using free lunch as bait. He said, "They (the homeless) did not initially know who was offering the free meal and only later realized it was (Trump Jr.)." In addition to this claim, after Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland, people wearing MAGA hats were spotted in front of a supermarket across from the hotel handing out $100 bills to passersby. In response to the report, Trump Jr.'s public relations representative denied the hotel's explanation to The Guardian, dismissing it as "ridiculous."

Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump has courted controversy by stating that the United States should purchase and annex Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, and that military means would not be ruled out if necessary. On the other hand, Bay-Kastrup, who is Danish, expressed discomfort over Trump’s interest in Greenland, saying, "We are not for sale, nor are we something to be put on the market. Cooperation is good, but we are not merchandise."
