00:00I had a Second Lady Usha Vance's planned trip to Greenland later this week.
00:06Greenland's prime minister called the visit a sign of American aggression and said that
00:09we're now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from
00:13a politician's wife.
00:14Do you have a response to those comments, and do you see the relationship between the
00:18U.S. and Greenland as having deteriorated over the course of the past couple months?
00:22Well, I can't tell you about the Second Lady's trip, so we'll start there.
00:26As the White House has announced, Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland with
00:30her son and a United States delegation to visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic
00:36heritage, and attend Greenland's national dog sled race.
00:41The delegation will depart for Greenland on Thursday, March 27th, and return to the
00:45United States on Saturday, March 29th.
00:49And when it comes to, I think, the details, the relationship between those two countries
00:55in particular, I would refer you to the White House for that.
00:59All right.
01:00I think that's it.
01:01All right.
