00:00What do you plan to set a European leader's job

00:03when they push back on your Greenland plan?

00:06Well, I don't think they're going to push back too much.

00:09Look, we have to have it.

00:10They have to have this done.

00:12They can protect it.

00:13Denmark, they're wonderful people.

00:15And I know the leaders are very good people,

00:18but they don't even go there.

00:21And, you know, because a boat went there 500 years ago

00:24and then left, that doesn't give you title to property.

00:28So, we'll be talking about it with the various people.

00:32We've had tremendous success.

00:36And, you know, I've done more for NATO than anybody else.

00:39I don't think you'd have NATO right now.

00:41I got them to go 5 percent and pay,

00:44as opposed to 2 percent and not pay.

00:46I've done more than any other American president for NATO, by far.

00:50And we'll see how that goes.

00:52But Greenland is very important.

00:55The Press.

00:56The Press.

00:57Have you invited President Putin to be a member of the Martin team?

01:00Yeah.

01:01He's been invited.

01:02The Press.

01:03The Press.

01:04The Press.

01:05The Press.

01:06The Press.

01:07The President.

01:08The Press.

01:09The President.

01:10Okay.

01:11Did he say that?

01:12Well, nobody wants him, because he's going to be out of office very soon.

01:13You know, that's all right.

01:14What I'll do is, if they feel like costa I'll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines

01:19and champagnes and he'll join.

01:21But he doesn't have to join.

01:23If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently.

01:26But if he actually did say that.

01:28But as you know, he's going to be out of office in a few months.

01:31Did you invite the President to join the President?

01:34The President, yes. He's one of the people.

01:37These are world leaders.

01:38And the answer is yes, sir.

01:40The Press, President, what you're saying about

01:42the first year of President Trump, what you're saying?

01:45The President, amazing.

01:46Tomorrow is the first year.

01:47Think of it. One year.

01:49I don't think there's been a term like it.

01:51I don't think any President has had a better first year

01:55than we've had in terms of success.

01:57Again, we've taken our country from a failure

02:01with open borders, no business, everything going badly,

02:06horrific inflation, the highest inflation in history,

02:11prices that are through the roof.

02:13And we've brought prices down.

02:15We have heard a little inflation.

02:17We have a great economy.

02:18And the prices are coming down still further.

02:21But I inherited a mess.

02:23And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

02:26The Press, President, do you think that you had any influence

02:28on the Giants not going to be able to coach Harbaugh?

02:30How do you think he'll do New York?

02:31The President, I don't know, but they've got a great coach.

02:33I like the coach.

02:34I like his brother.

02:36They came up to see me with about three months ago.

02:40They came up to see me in the White House.

02:42Did you know that?

02:43The Press, President, with the mother and father,

02:45because the mother likes me and the father likes me,

02:47and I think they like me.

02:48And he's a great coach, and he's going to do well

02:51with the Giants just like his brother does so well.

02:53They are — they've got something very special in their blood.

02:57And I'm happy for the Giants.

02:59They've got a great coach.

03:00It's nice that you ask.

03:01I did put out a — I put out a strong word.

03:04Hire Coach Harbaugh.

03:07The Press, President, can you tell us on the Fed,

03:10will you make a decision to report down?

03:11The President, I know who I want.

03:13The Press, President, in the Fed.

03:15The Press, will you make a decision to report down?

03:16The President, I'll announce it sometime.

03:17But I know — I know who I want.

03:20The Press, President, you said securing the Arctic

03:21and Russian threats to report to you.

03:24Why are you upset about NATO allies,

03:25making that more seriously in Greenland

03:28by holding military exercises?

03:30The President, well, that wasn't a military.

03:32They sent a few people.

03:33And they say they sent them, not for me,

03:35but to guard against Russia.

03:38But, you know, NATO has been warning Denmark

03:42for about 20 years now.

03:43Longer than that — 25 years.

03:45They've been warning Denmark about the Russian threat.

03:49And it's not only Russia, it's also China.

03:52So we'll see what happens.

03:53But let's put it this way.

03:56It's going to be a very interesting Davos.

03:58Goodbye, everybody.

03:59Have a good flight.

04:01The President, thank you very much.
