00:00Mr. President, Greenland is confused about the Second Lady and the National Security

00:07Advisor visiting this week.

00:09They're concerned that this is further provocation, whatever it is you ultimately want for Greenland.

00:15Could you further explain why they're going?

00:17What is the ultimate end goal when it comes to this?

00:20Well, not provocation.

00:21This is friendliness, not provocation.

00:24We're dealing with a lot of people from Greenland that would like to see something happen with

00:29respect to their being properly protected and properly taken care of.

00:33They're calling us.

00:34We're not calling them.

00:35And we were invited over there.

00:38And I thought it would be great.

00:39I have great respect for the wife of our first of our great vice president.

00:46I think she's doing a she's a brilliant woman.

00:48She's a very nice woman.

00:51And she loves the concept of Greenland.

00:54And so she's going there.

00:56And I think Marco is going there and some others are going there.

00:59But we've been invited and they really like the idea because they have been somewhat abandoned.

01:06As you know, they haven't been taken well, good care of.

01:10And I think Greenland is going to be something that maybe is in our future.

01:14I think it's important.

01:16It's important from the standpoint of international security.

01:20And if you look at the ships outside of Greenland, you have Russia, you have China, you have

01:25lots of different people and lots of different places.

01:28And it cannot go on the way it is.

01:31It's not going to go on the way it is.

01:32I'll make a statement.

01:33It's not going to happen.

01:34So they're going there.

01:36And that's purely friendship.

01:40A lot of people.

01:41Yeah, people, people from Greenland are asking us together.

01:44We have many, many requests from many, many people, some officials.
