00:00What I always do is acknowledge when praise is due,
00:05and I think we should praise Donald Trump for the fact that NATO is so much stronger.
00:09Of course it has to do with the Russian threat, it has to do with the war in Ukraine,
00:14but it very much also has to do with President Trump delivering now what since Eisenhower
00:18the United States tried to achieve equalizing spending between the US and Europe.
00:23And it makes Europe stronger, it makes Europe more relevant for the United States as a partner.
00:28So that is the transformative character of this summit.
00:32When it comes to Greenland, I already explained, we had a meeting in Davos.
00:38And I said, I agree with you when it comes to Russia, when it comes to China,
00:43gaining access to the high north, but let's do this together.
00:46We have NATO for this, let's work together on this.
00:48This is exactly what we are doing.
