00:30How do you respond to these assertions and what do you plan to do to guarantee Greenland?

00:50First of all I think it's very important to say that Greenland will never be part of America.

00:57Of course we want respect.

00:58We want a strong partnership.

00:59We want to trade.

01:01We want a strong partnership on national security of course.

01:06But we want it in mutual respect.

01:08We will never be for sale and we will never be Americans.

01:12What do you make of the comments by the Vice President that Denmark has not done enough

01:16to...

01:17You can always discuss if they have put enough investments in security in Greenland but right

01:25now we are in a phase where they are building up and we need to find solutions together.

01:32But let me say it clear.

01:34We don't want to be Americans.

01:35We don't either want to be Danes.

01:37In the future we want to be independent but right now we are part of the Kingdom of Denmark

01:41and that's how it's going to be.

01:55A respectful relationship.

01:57I think that's the most important.

02:01Talking about annexation and talking about acquiring Greenland and not respecting the

02:06sovereignty is not respectful.

02:10So let's start by being respectful to each other and build a great partnership on everything.

02:20We are in the Kingdom of Denmark right now and as long as we are in this construction

02:25we need to build our relationship and build our partnership to get it stronger until the

02:30day we can be a sovereign nation by ourselves.

02:34So that's the point.

02:36We have a strong partnership with Denmark and that's what we are going to build on until

02:42the day we can be sovereign.
