00:00Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory.
00:05The sitting undefended in a key...
00:10Strategic location between the United States, Russia and China.
00:14That's exactly where...
00:15It is right smack in the middle.
00:17We need it for strategic...
00:20National Security and International Security.
00:23This enormous...
00:25Unsecured island is actually part of North America on the northern front.
00:30That's the frontier of the Western Hemisphere.
00:31That's our territory.
00:34It is...
00:35Therefore, a core national security interest of the United States of America.
00:39And in fact...
00:40It's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from...
00:45Picturing our hemisphere.
00:47And we've done it very successfully.
00:48We've never been stronger than we...
00:50It's the United States alone that can protect this giant...
00:55Massive land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and...
01:00Make it so that it's good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us.
01:04And that's...
01:05It's the reason I'm seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition...
01:10of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories...
01:15throughout our history, as many of the European nations have.
01:18They've acquired this...
01:20Nothing wrong with it.
01:21We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive...
01:25strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable.
01:30But I won't do that.
01:33Okay?
01:34Now everyone...
01:35Saying, oh, good.
01:36That's probably the biggest statement I made.
01:39Because people...
01:40People thought I would use force.
01:41I don't have to use force.
01:42I don't want to use force.
01:43I won't use force.
01:45All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.
