Speaking of outsiders, President Trump wants to acquire Greenland. This is something you as a reporter want to learn about. But you are also an American coming in from an American news outlet to talk to people about this. How are you received?

I'm a – nope. Like I'm a – We'll stop. Yeah. Nope. Like – or they could just tell by the body language as you come up that you're – but then eventually you were able to make connections.

You were able to get people to talk about this. Did you find a wide range? You talk about it's a diverse place, but also it's a place with 57,000 people total. What was the mix of opinions on this strange situation Greenland finds itself in?

What do you like? I feel like when we're going on a reporting trip, we do a ton of research.
