00:30What is your vision for the potential annexation of Greenland and getting the potential?

00:50Yeah.

00:51Well, I think it'll happen.

00:52And I'm just thinking, I didn't give it much thought before, but I'm sitting with a man

00:57that could be very instrumental.

00:59You know, Mark, we need that for international security, not just security, international.

01:04We have a lot of our favorite players, you know, cruising around the coast and we have

01:09to be careful.

01:11And we'll be talking to you.

01:13It's a very appropriate, really a very appropriate question.

01:15Thank you very much.

01:16An issue in the High North, so the Arctic, so what you did.

01:18So when it comes to Greenland, yes, we're not joining the U.S.

01:21I would leave that outside for me, this discussion, because I don't want to direct NATO in that.

01:26But when it comes to the High North and the Arctic, you are totally right.

01:30The Chinese are now using these routes.

01:32We know that the Russians are rearming.

01:34We know we have a lack of icebreakers.

01:37So the fact that the seven outside Russia, seven Arctic countries working together on

01:42this under U.S. leadership is very important to make sure that that region, that that part

01:47of the world stays safe.

01:48And we know things are changing there and we have to be there.

01:56I'm sitting with a man that could be very instrumental.

02:22You know, Mark, we need that for international security, not just security, international.

02:28We have a lot of our favorite players cruising around the coast and we have to be careful.

02:45A lot of Americans wonder why does Greenland matter so much?

02:48Why does the mission of this base matter so much to the American people?

02:52And I learned a lot about that today myself.

02:54Of course, you can read about it in a book, but I saw it up close and personal.

02:57And if God forbid to my fellow Americans, if a missile was fired from an enemy country

03:03or an enemy submarine into the United States, it is the people here before us who would

03:08give notice to our brave men and women further south in the United States to let people know

03:13what was coming and God willing to try to shoot it down and prepare for it.

03:18That's one of the things that we do at installations like this.

03:22We know that Russia and China and other nations are taking an extraordinary interest in Arctic

03:28passageways and Arctic naval routes and indeed in the minerals of the Arctic territories.

03:34We need to ensure that America is leading in the Arctic because we know that if America

03:39doesn't, other nations will fill the gap where we fall behind.

03:43So what you guys do is so critically important.

03:47I think a lot of Americans, certainly I, didn't realize it fully until President Trump started

03:52talking about the importance of our Arctic mission, about building upon it and ensuring

03:57that America can lead in the Arctic for the next generation.

05:17Don't miss out.
