We didn't go into those details at all.
We know that the Danes are completely open to having more American presence in Greenland, and Greenland is open to that.
And I think it is good that these discussions take place with the three of them, because at the end, I cannot negotiate on behalf of anyone.
There's still a lot of work to be done.
We'll do it step by step, but with thoughtful diplomacy, we will get this done.
There's one thing I heard you say yesterday and today, you are not absolutely sure that the Europeans would come to the rescue of the US if you will be attacked.
Let me tell you, they will.

And again, I think President Trump was the one who reinvigorated NATO at the summit in The Hague, was the famous 5%.
I think we can be thankful for the fact that he again has been able to take leadership on this issue, how can we collectively protect the Arctic.
That issue did not come up anymore in my conversations tonight, Mr. President.
