They should have kept it after World War II, but they had a different president. That's all right. People think differently. Much more necessary now than it was at that time. However, In 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over $200 million to strengthen Greenland's defenses. But as you know, they spent less than 1% of that amount. 1% is no sign of Denmark there. And I say that with great respect for Denmark, whose people I love, whose leaders are very good. (25:53–26:06)
