It's unhelpful, but it's going to be interesting to see how the Greenlanders swallow this pill of, you know, this is going to be different and they are not in charge.
Yes, because it's part of the Golden Dome.
It's part of the Star Wars of Ronald Reagan's day, the Iron Dome of Israel.
This is the 21st century version with this Golden Dome President Trump is building with Alaska and Greenland as part of it.
He's going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on this, but this is all for us.
Thanks for having me, Vince.
Thanks.
So joining me now is former U.S.
Ambassador to Denmark and Greenland, Carla Sands.
Thanks for being with us here today.
I don't know if you have more information than what we've been able to gather so far on the framework of this potential deal.
What is your suspicion on... President Trump described it as...
An infinite deal, a big win for all parties, which is an interesting framing considering earlier today he said who in the hell in their right mind would want to lease or license presence on Greenland?
Yeah, I don't know what he's ended up with.
I know that he said unequivocally that we had to own it.
And I had thought it would be a COFA, more like a free association, but that's not what that is.
So does it look more like our relationship with Puerto Rico?
I really, I'm looking forward to learning as much as you are about this new deal, that the framework is in place, but it's really encouraging.
Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?
How long would the deal be, Mr. President?
