00:00We are not going to let us press, and this type of trouble is unacceptable between the near-allieres.
00:07So I would like to say that my colleague Lars-Rakir Rasmussen and Danmark also came to the notification.
00:13It was really cool to reach out to Washington to meet with vice-president Vance and Utrecht-minister Rubio
00:21and set in a work-group process for these questions.
00:25Thank you very much for meeting you on a Sunday in a special time.
00:39Not only for Denmark, but for the international world.
00:44We have a huge price.
00:47I don't want to talk to Oslo today, but I want to thank you for it.
00:51For it has been there for the whole time, and it is still there.
00:55And we have a huge price on it.
00:59Thank you also for a good conversation.
01:01Of course very much about the current situation, but also more than it.
01:07We are going to pass on a future struggle in Germany.
01:11And it is precisely the situation that the President said that there should be 12 countries in the countries,
01:19which really takes place to solve the task of the President.
01:23We will stay on track, unless the US decides differently.
01:29But then, at the same time, of course, we need the European Union to respond.
01:35I will not develop that response at this press conference.
01:39There is close consultation going on among our European friends.
01:45I foresee that there will be also a meeting among foreign ministers.
01:51And we will also continue close consultations with those European countries,
01:56who are not members of the European Union, but still integrated in the single market.
02:01And even more importantly, a member of NATO.
02:04Because this is not only about the European Union.
02:08It is basically about the NATO alliance.
02:12It is a collective right of self-defense in the UN chakra, which is deeply committed.
02:16And I want to reiterate what also Lartus said,
02:18that we have two messages that we share with all the countries we mentioned in this.
02:23Not only the eight, but with all European countries and Canada.
02:27Is that on the one hand, we stand with the Kingdom of Denmark in defense of its sovereignty.
02:32But we are also ready to do more together with America and with all our allies in the Arctic.
02:37And that is exactly why we are stepping up our presence in Greenland.
02:41Because if there are security concerns, we can meet them jointly.
02:45And both bilateral with Denmark and the US, but also as a NATO alliance.
02:48And Norway has for decades been arguing that NATO should take a stronger role generally in the Arctic.
02:54We would of course say that there are other parts of the Arctic where there is more.
02:58When it comes to Ukraine, it has actually been a few weeks of progress when it comes to the talks between Ukraine, Europe and the US.
03:07Where there is now approaching an agreement on security guarantees, long-term support for Ukraine.
03:15Not only until a ceasefire, but also after a ceasefire and a potential peace agreement.
03:21And we would do our utmost to keep that together.
03:25Because it is important that all allies stand jointly behind Ukraine.
03:30Which is exactly why both Lars Løkke Vasslussen and I pointed out that we would very much hope that we can come back to a situation where we discuss these real substantial issues.
03:41But when these other issues occur, including this discussion of acquiring Greenland, it is also very important that we stand up for the principles.
03:51This is support for the Kingdom of Denmark and their territorial and sovereign integrity.
03:56But it also defends the principles.
03:58In reality, it is the same principle that makes us support Ukraine against Russia.
04:04Because that was a very severe attack on the sovereign integrity of an independent nation.
04:10And that is exactly why we also want to reestablish the free existing order in Ukraine.
04:16Absolutely.
04:17And this was a topic of our meeting today.
04:19We talked a lot about the Grønland, but we talked about Ukraine.
04:23Because Denmark and Norge are a country that is completely spised in the work for the operation of the military,
04:30the military, the civil support and the political support to Ukraine.
04:33It is a real, real problem that requires that the West is most likely to be able to support Ukraine against the Russian war.
04:41And I was in Ukraine for just a few days since and saw the beginning of the last drama.
04:48And it was very easy to think, as the Ukrainians think, that this could be good for us.
04:53For now we should focus on what really is important.
04:55And that can I just report from Ukraine.
04:57It is an extremely important situation where Russia attacks the force of the force all the time.
05:02All the time.
05:03As the light goes, the vans will be burnt and it is cold in a very very cold country.
05:07For us to meet the people.
05:09But they do not meet them.
05:10And our support is more important than ever since.
05:12What would you do with the further talks about the Grønland,
05:16and the many conflicts that are happening in the world now,
05:20when it shows that countries that are un-enying with Trump,
05:23or that they are doing things that are wrong,
05:27can get so direct economic consequences?
05:30Well, first of all, it is important to see if these economic consequences are actually true.
05:37This is the first time a trussel.
05:38It is not a new toll per day.
05:40And it should also be trapped over time.
05:42I think that it is extremely important to be so clear that we are now all together,
05:48and together,
05:49and together,
05:50that we are not to let us press.
05:52We think that the question is not to call is here.
05:54We are not to talk about this type of trouble with the vice president Vance and the U.S.
06:02I think it's important that Lars Løkke Rasmussen has revealed to me
06:05that this is a long work that they should continue to try and have a diplomatic word.
06:10I think that it's important.
06:12I think that it's also a clear message to the USA,
06:18that it's many countries that want to be able to work with the real sikkerhet in Grønland,
06:23if they are there,
06:25which will not accept the development of the USA to protect Grønland,
06:31a part of the Kongerik and Denmark,
06:33and will be clearly on the whole world.
