Mark Rutte

Ja, maar ik heb hem niet op, hè? Nog niet. Nee, dit is geweldig. Ik vind dit een ontzettend leuk programma. Vandaag is hij. Ik ben een fan van de show. En het was een hele moeilijke omstandigheid. Want John Derksen is altijd heel kritisch op mij. Zeker ook in die tijd. Maar ik zei, ik ga er toch naar toe. En uiteindelijk kwamen ze met die dildohelm. Ik zeg, die duwen we even opzij. Want Macron van Frankrijk krijgt dadelijk mij op bezoek.

Zegt u daarover, over de MH17-band, 298 levens... dat zijn momenten waarop ik een partner mis. Ja. Het gaat over dit moment, onder andere. Toen was ik echt geëmotioneerd. Dat was zo'n moment dat ik dacht... ik zie ook wel de voordelen van een relatie. We werden heel gelukkig, leuke vrienden, leuk leven. Ik voel me zeer rijk. Maar dat soort momenten zijn er ook. Elke plus heeft ook zijn min.

President Trump has been clear from when he was in Office Trump 45, also when he came back into Office Trump 47, that when it comes to the protection of the Arctic with a priority on Greenland, we have to spend more energy, more time, more focus on this, because we know the sea lanes are opening up.

The Chinese and the Russians are more and more active.

So what we discussed last night is the seven countries in the high north, including the United States, working together to protect against any adversary.

And then also to make sure that when it comes to Greenland specifically, their economy, their military situation, Russia and China will never get access.

We discussed how can we protect Greenland, how can we protect the wider Arctic region.

And again, I think President Trump was the one who reinvigorated NATO at the summit in The Hague, which is the famous 5%.

And again, I think President Trump was the one who reinvigorated NATO at the summit in The Hague, was the famous 5%.

But I know that we have now a high-level working group working on a solution for both parties.

Our integrity and our borders and international law is definitely a red line that we don't want anyone to cross.

And I don't think that is strange at all.

So statements from me will not add anything here.

And when it comes to the Arctic, I think President Trump is right.

Other leaders in NATO are right.

We need to defend the Arctic.
