All right, Alexander, let's talk about Greenland and the situation with Greenland and Trump taking

0:09.4

Greenland or buying Greenland or perhaps some sort of a deal with Denmark and NATO to share Greenland

0:20.4

or whatever they may have in mind. Rubio is expected to speak to

0:26.5

Denmark, I believe in the next day or two. And according to to the media, Rubio is going to talk about

0:37.3

buying Greenland. But who knows, maybe the United

0:41.4

States just might decide to take Greenland. Or maybe the U.S. will do nothing. What is your

0:46.1

thought? What are your thoughts? I think that increasingly the opinions in Washington,

0:53.1

at least within the Trump administration, are crystallizing.

0:56.5

And there is now an absolute determination to take Greenland.

1:49.2

in American favour. Denmark cannot hold on to Greenland. The United States will take it.

1:55.8

The Danes will probably in the end agree to sell it to the US, deeply, profoundly humiliating, though that is

2:05.3

going to be to them. They're going to sell it for a minimal price because Donald Trump doesn't

2:11.4

like to give money and he's not going to give Denmark an awful lot of money. The reason the Danes are going to sell it is firstly because

2:21.2

they know they can't keep it, but secondly, because all their friends in NATO, the Swedes,

2:27.1

the Germans, the British, the others will tell them, for heaven's sake, sell. Because the one

thing we cannot afford
