00:00The Prime Minister of Denmark called on U.S. President Donald Trump to stop threatening the annexation of Greenland.
00:08Mehta Fredriksen wrote in a statement on Sunday that it makes, quote,
00:12absolutely no sense for the U.S. to need to take over Greenland or any of the three countries in the Danish kingdom.
00:19Trump has repeatedly expressed his interest in taking ownership of the mineral-rich Arctic nation, citing grave national security concerns.
00:28We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic.
00:35Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.
00:41We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.
00:45And Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you.
00:49Greenland Prime Minister Jens Friedrich Nielsen slammed Trump's renewed proposition,
00:53asserting that his country is, quote, not an object of superpower rhetoric.
01:00The exchange comes after the U.S. carried out a major military operation against Venezuela on Saturday,
01:06instituting a regime change and securing the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
