00:00The Americans have also showed interest in Greenland's natural resources, minerals.
00:06Do you envision that as being part of a deal, being struck with the Americans, and would
00:13you be willing to give the Americans preferred access to your critical minerals?
00:20SECRETARY KERRY, President of the United States Thank you.
00:22First of all, again, I don't know what's in that deal.
00:24I think the discussion that we actually welcome in a future working group will address that.
00:32But in terms of cooperation with our resources, we know we have huge potential.
00:39And we have said from the beginning, let's have respectful conversations and talk about
00:45how we can strengthen the partnership also in terms of our mineral resources.
00:52No doubt, in Greenland, if you want to exploit you, of course, have to respect our legislation
00:58and our very high environmental standards, because that's a part of us, that's a part
01:03of our culture.
01:05But let's talk about it.
01:07If you just say you want something without talking about it using diplomacy and in a respectful
01:12manner, it's of course, it will be a tense partnership.
01:17But we are ready to talk, we are ready to discuss anything in mutual respect.
01:24And then we have some TVE, Spain.
01:31Is that right?
01:36Well, thank you for taking the question.
01:40TVE, Televisión Española.
01:41My name is Diego Aritz-Peleta.
01:43My question is, do you believe 100 percent the words by Mr. Trump that he's not going
01:48to take over Greenland by force?
01:51Of course, we have to believe what he says.
01:56Look, what I want to believe in is the frame that made peace in the world for many, many,
02:06many years after some horrible times.
02:10What we want to believe is we are a close and beloved ally of the Western Alliance.
02:19And that's also what we have to believe.
02:22This is, as I said, this is about world order.
02:25This is about international law.
02:27This is about respecting territorial integrity.
02:32I believe that the world will not take that turn so drastically.
02:39I have to believe that.
02:40And I believe the Western Alliance, in a good partnership, can grow to be better.
