You know, they've been thinking this is all funny.

And that, you know, they can do this without any cost.

And, you know, because Trump, you know, for him, this is like, you know, basically the ultimate prize.

Literally, as he said to the Norwegian prime minister, if I can't have the Nobel Peace Prize, then I want Greenland.

And he says it in his speech.

I want Greenland.

I mean, this is so absurd.

He wants it for his own prestige and aggrandizement.

And yet the United States already has Greenland in the sense of all the things we've talked about in terms of ensuring U.S.

security, having access to mineral resources when and if they are necessary and available with necessary investment in infrastructure.

And all what he's done here is alienated everybody.

Because it's made Europe feel that not only are they under attack from the eastern flank, from Russia, but they're under attack from the north by their greatest friend and ally.

And Denmark, as we all know, has been probably, out of all those NATO allies, the most dedicated to its relationship with the United States.

Most of the Danish products...

that American spy are actually manufactured, creating American jobs in the United States, exactly what, you know, Trump has asked for, including, you know, a Zen pic, you know, and all the things that everybody's kind of talking about all the time, they're made in the United States.

Denmark has...

you know, supported the United States and all kinds of, you know, operations and military operations.

And, you know, the Danes and many of the things that they've done in their own policies, the kinds of things that the United States is always talking about and immigration and security, et cetera, et cetera.

And now the Danes are so angry.

with the United States for not constraining, you know, what Trump has been saying that I'm not sure, you know, how this comes back again.
