Videos from the newspaper “Ekstra Bladet” also showed how people on the street were approached by Trump employees and given “Maga” hats.

An avowed Trump supporter who showed Trump Jr. the Greenland capital of Nuuk denied to DR that the people had been “recruited” in front of the supermarket. Rather, they themselves stood in front of the hotel and showed interest.
12:23 p.m.: Ukraine expects to meet with high-ranking representatives of the new government as soon as Donald Trump is inaugurated as US President.

11:06 a.m.: According to the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin is “open” to talks with future US President Donald Trump. “The President has repeatedly emphasized that he is open to contacts with top international politicians, including the President of the USA, including Donald Trump,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow. Moscow welcomes Trump’s “willingness to solve problems through dialogue,” Peskov added. There is no prerequisite for such a meeting. But there is still no concrete plan for a conversation between the two.
Trump had previously announced a meeting with Putin. “He wants us to meet and we are in the process of organizing it,” Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago residence in the US state of Florida. The planned meeting should therefore be about ending the Ukraine conflict.
