00:00Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory, sitting undefended
00:08in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia and China.
00:14That's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle.
00:18Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back.
00:21You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now.
00:24It's not important for any other reason, you know, to everyone talks about the minerals.
00:28There's so many places, there's no rare earth, no such thing as rare earth.
00:33There's rare processing, but there's so much rare earth.
00:38And this to get to this rare earth, you got to go through hundreds of feet of ice.
00:44That's not the reason we need it.
00:45We need it for strategic national security and international security.
00:52This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America, on the northern frontier
00:59of the Western Hemisphere.
01:00That's our territory.
01:03It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America.
01:08And in fact, it's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering
01:14our hemisphere.
01:15And we've done it very successfully.
01:17We've never been stronger than we are now.
