We've seen in recent days by the president-elect Donald Trump
00:04
towards Greenland, towards Panama Canal.
00:07
I'm sure you've seen them.
00:09
Do you think that's classic Donald Trump?
00:11
Yes, I do think it's classic.
00:13
It's not something that worries you?
00:15
It's classic Donald Trump.
00:16
Look, I think that what sits behind Donald Trump is he's
00:21
just won an election.
00:22
77 million people voted for him, up in nearly all
00:26
classifications, including, by the way,
00:27
African-Americans and Latinos.
00:30
He came in very clearly saying he was
00:32
going to work for working people.
00:34
And he sees Americans' national economic security
00:40
as centering that.
00:42
That is why he's raising issues in relation to the Panama Canal
00:47
and, I suspect, to Greenland.
00:49
He always amplifies that and does it at its most,
00:54
at its strongest intensity.
00:56
I'm not in the business of condemning our closest ally.
01:03
I am in the business of interpreting
01:06
what sits behind this.
01:07
And there are some very serious national economic security
01:11
issues.
01:12
That's the basis on which Donald Trump has won his election.
