00:00If you ask the people of Greenland, there is quite a bit of worry.
00:03People are concerned about the messages from the United States
00:07about annexing Greenland or buying Greenland.
00:11It causes a great deal of worry about the future.
00:15People are reporting difficulties to sleep.
00:18This is really filling the agenda and the discussions around the households.
00:25So it's a massive pressure that we are under and people are feeling the effects of it.
00:30So that's a population. They are quite worried.
00:32We try to, of course, keep calm and work our way through it.
00:36If you asked on a more political level,
00:39I think both my Premier and the coalition and all the party leaders in Greenland
00:44has made quite clear that we have no intentions of becoming American.
00:48It is not something we have aimed for, worked for,
00:51but we have worked towards more collaboration with Americans for many, many years.
00:55We are an American ally, but we do not see ourselves as becoming Americans.
01:00We are quite happy with being part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
01:03Thank you very much.
