I think right now, if you look at some of the proposed stuff in the deal, most of it is ending by the end of the year.

And I think that that, from the Canadians, is essentially the warning to the Americans, in terms of President Trump's, to say that, look, maybe we will stop this if you do what we want.

Despite the fact that it was the Canadians themselves, specifically Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who messed up all of the trade negotiations by publishing a doctored article

footage of Ronald Reagan last year anyway.

So it was the Canadians who scuppered the initial trade talks.

So I think that's on the table.

But I think if we look deeper into what's going on, I think strategically, obviously, Greenland is a major issue for missile defense, for a number of other things.

But I think one of the important things, too, that a lot of people aren't talking about is the Northwest Passage, because the Northwest Passage goes between the shortest point on the eastern side of the Northwest Passage is between Baffin Island, Canada and between Greenland.

And so who controls that is not the United States either way.

But the United States does control the exit of the Northwest Passage, which is between which is in Alaska, then between Alaska and Russia.

And so not having that under some sort of control would allow

it's become more strategically important but i mean if you believe in global warming obviously it's going to be more traversable uh it's going to be more traversable because of arctic exploration so you're going to see more countries wanting to to use it as a trade route and also use it as a method to be able to you know explore arctic resources and use that as a way to transport arctic resources whether you know we're going to find more rare earths up there or

or whatever it may be in Greenland or wherever.

But I mean, it is a major trade route that was always sought out.

But back in those days, in the 1800s, early 1900s, it wasn't necessarily that they had the technology to be able to do it, especially in the winter.

And the winters there were generally colder than they are now, too.

So it will be in the future a major trade route, just as much as the Panama Canal, just as much as the Suez Canal.

And China realizes this China realizes just like America, just like the British Empire did that if you control the choke points of trade, you control the world.

Just National Pulse and then my name, Chris Tomlinson, C-H-R-I-S, although it's spelled Christopher, it's my full name.

So Christopher Tomlinson.
