First, a lot of news coming out of D.C. president Trump saying he wants to buy Greenland. He's not ruling out military force either. Do you support either of those? Well, I don't know about military force. Greenland can certainly be a friend of ours, but with this proximity to some of our other nations we're watching be a good place for a base. We've got one up there now, but maybe a larger one. So we'll just have to see what happens. I know he's talked about actually buying it from the 30,000 people that are there. (00:17–00:28)

CLAIM

Asserts Greenland's strategic value for a military base due to its proximity to other nations.
