00:00We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals.
00:05Donald Trump said it plainly, and he does not appear to be backing down.
00:10He wants Greenland at any cost.
00:13The latest chapter of this insistence came with Trump's appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland,
00:22a move observers described as a political escalation.
00:26But what is the story behind America's interest in Greenland?
00:30The answer begins with geography.
00:33Greenland lies at the heart of the route between Europe and North America,
00:38and serves as a key gateway to the Arctic, where international competition is intensifying.
00:44Trump says that the heavy presence of Russian and Chinese ships near the island's coasts poses a threat to the United States,
00:53and therefore, American influence must have a presence there.
00:57We have so many sites of minerals and oil and everything.
01:00We have more oil than any other country in the world.
01:02We need Greenland for national security.
01:05And if you take a look at Greenland, you look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.
01:11We need it for national security.
01:13We have to have it.
01:14Greenland possesses vast mineral resources, including rare minerals used in technological and military industries.
01:24Something Trump says is not his goal in seeking to acquire Greenland.
01:29Nevertheless, the response from Denmark and Greenland was firm,
01:34stressing that the island belongs to its people and cannot be annexed or purchased,
01:39even in the name of international security.
