And that's the argument they're putting forward.

I mean, again, like, I think that, you know, Denmark would tell you that they have Greenland, you know, under control and that the U.S.

is a NATO ally and that the U.S.

has, you know, basing access and all kinds of military access should they need it and that they're a NATO ally.

And so, like, so the, you know,

For Denmark, it's a problematic situation, but there are non-military ways that the US could go about pursuing this.

I mean, they've done a lot to indicate that that's not their intent.

The Reuters had a story out today saying that the U.S.

is mulling payments to potentially lure them into becoming Americans.

And you could imagine a scenario where the U.S.

basically gives them some money, but...

I don't know.

You know, it's a it's a it's a wild card issue for a lot of folks.

And I don't know whether it's it's something that's, you know, a front burner issue or a back burner issue or sort of just, you know.

But but the president said, you know, it's something that he would he would like to resolve within this term in office.

What I've seen in my conversations with diplomats, and I guess that's the best way I could answer this question, is that in this administration since last year, there's been an understanding that Trump is who he is and that there's an acceptance to the idea that he may say something quite provocative one day and then have a different position

The next day, right?

And I think the Colombian president's a good example of that, right?

He was, he was, he openly floated, you know, just a couple days ago, the idea of a military action inside Colombia, you know, and is basically, you know, said that Maduro could face, you know, a similar fate.

That Petro could face a similar fate to Maduro.
