02:38Zobaczmy, że większość trady jest w Europie.

02:40Wymieniem jest bardzo wyjątkowanym przez export i import.

02:44Więc to, że coś, co może wpływać prysy,

02:47i w sposób, jak robimy biznesę,

02:49może wpływać na ekonomie directly.

02:51Słyszałem o tym, że potencjalny EU referendum,

02:54który może być zniszczeniem w czasie 2027.

02:58Czy w tym debatę się,

03:00dlatego, że do tej polityki przeszłości?

03:02Nie, w tym momencie,

03:04ale myślę, że to może wpływać to,

03:06My government decided to put the re-opening of EU negotiations on the table.

03:13That's what this vote is about.

03:15Last time, when we went through this process,

03:17there wasn't an initial vote asking the public

03:20whether they wanted to start this process.

03:22I think that was a mistake.

03:24I think a lot of people feel like it would have been an easier process for us domestically

03:28if we had been more in line with public opinion at the time,

03:31at least asked the nation what they feel about this.

03:34So before 2027, we want to see if the nation wants to reopen these negotiations.

03:40And I'm sure the current geopolitical situation will affect it.

03:45But I mean, my biggest concern is that we're not able to have a good debate

03:50about what it means to open the negotiations,

03:53that we will have a polarized debate about this.

03:56This is obviously, I think, what most politicians are worried about.

04:01And so hopefully we can, you know, get a balanced discussion about EU membership.

04:09And just on the nitty gritty, last time EU membership was up in Iceland,

04:13one of the biggest obstacles, if not the biggest, was your country's fishing industry.

04:17And of course, fishing rights. Has that changed?

04:19And are the locals now willing to share their fleet?

04:21I think that will be our biggest concern.

04:26That's also my biggest concern.

04:28And so I think it's important that we get to a stage that if we open up these negotiations,

04:33that we start off with the difficult discussions first.

04:36We left sort of agriculture and the fisheries to be the last chapters that were open.

04:42And I think it's important for the Icelandic people, if they decide to open these negotiations with the vote,

04:50that they see firsthand how we can negotiate through that.

04:54We're going to have to see what comes out of it at this point.

04:59But we won't know until we start the negotiations.

05:01And how will Norway feel? Will they be worried about the impact on EFTA and on the EA?

05:05I'm sure it's going to affect the Norwegians in the same way as if the Norwegians were to join the EU,

05:13it would affect us.

05:14I think everyone is aware of that.

05:16This is obviously a topic that is of discussion there.

05:20But like in Iceland, even though this is an international engagement matter,

05:25it's still a domestic issue. It's an internal matter.

05:28So it's not mine to comment on it.

05:30It's for the Norwegian Prime Minister and for the parliament there to decide.

05:35But one issue you could perhaps comment on is Donald Trump,

05:38the US President's various comments about poaching land from other countries.

05:42We saw just last week his Vice President J.D. Vance over in Greenland.

05:45And Putin has hinted he might take Svalbard.

05:49They both want a piece of the Arctic Sea and you're next to it.

05:52How does that make you feel?

05:53It's concerning. I will say it's gravely concerning.

05:57We are a wholly Arctic nation. I mean, the Arctic is our home.

06:02It's not just a concept in international relations for us.

06:06It's where we live.

06:07And we have very strong ties to the Greenlandic people.

06:11So this is of grave concern.

06:13I mean, our message has been and will continue to be,

06:16you have to respect the sovereignty of nations.

06:18The future of Greenland will be decided by the Greenlandic people.

06:21They've only just now had a new government formed.

06:26And so it's very positive, I would say, to see the unity of that government,

06:31because it's broad based.

06:33This is obviously a type of talk that should not be considered respectable or OK.

06:40Small countries like Iceland, they thrive on the fact that we have international law,

06:44that borders are respected.

06:47But what about an army? You don't have an army.

06:49We don't have an army.

06:50But we are a full-fledged NATO member.

06:52We're one of the founding members of NATO.

06:54We have a bilateral defence agreement with the US.

06:56And so our defences have been based on that sort of international cooperation.

07:01But it is affecting our discussions of security and defence, for sure.

07:05Well, you mentioned the bilateral relations you have with the United States.

07:08Of course, European-US relations now are at a historical low.

07:12There's zero trust there. And how's that impacting you then?

07:15It's always been our message to the EU and European countries.

07:19Whatever makes EU stronger and the Europeans stronger,

07:22makes it a stronger ally for the US.

07:24And so it's very important for us that any security engagement,

07:28any sort of change in that relationship,

07:31doesn't mean that it's excluding the US,

07:34but that it's maybe changing the relationship between the two.

07:37Because Iceland really thrives on that transatlantic unity being in place.

07:42But obviously we're aware.

07:44But it's not in place now.

07:45It's changing. It's changing for sure.

07:47And I think that uncertainty is uncomfortable.

07:50It is uncomfortable for a lot of people.

07:52That's why we are going through this process of reviewing our security and defence policy.

07:57And as a European leader, you're spending so much time probably reacting

08:00to what President Trump said, what he tweeted when you have to run your country as well.

08:05I wasn't expecting to be this much in the international sphere.

08:09When I ran, I mean, I ran on pure social democratic policies,

08:14welfare, housing, economy.

08:17I ran on sort of a domestic focus.

08:20But now we're seeing the international politics sort of come into our arms.

08:25And it's just something you have to engage with when you're in this job.

08:28I ran on a platform that had direct talks with people instead of just on social media.

08:34We did trips around the country. We did open meetings.

08:38The same has to happen with international relations.

08:41It can't just be something that happens in bureaucratic institutions abroad, away from us.

08:46It has to be in the public domain as well.

08:48And that's going to be the biggest challenge.

08:51Making security in Iceland a concrete matter for the everyday household.

08:56And that's what we're going through right now.

08:58And another topic did you run on perhaps as well, climate change, global warming.

09:02It could change the Arctic as we know it.

09:03It could change the Arctic, definitely.

09:05It also creates, interestingly, these economic opportunities as well.

09:12In the north of Iceland, we see mineral opportunities in Greenland.

09:17We see shipping routes coming up.

09:19But we're also worried for our own economy when it comes to the fisheries,

09:24when it comes to changing of the ocean.

09:27So this is something that's going to be very important for us.

09:30While you're in town, actually, this week, the EU-Ukraine Association meeting is taking place

09:35with the Prime Minister Denis Shemel in town.

09:38How is the war in Ukraine impacting you?

09:42It's raised security concerns in Iceland.

09:46Even though Ukraine is geographically further from us than maybe mainland Europe,

09:53I do think it's made Icelanders aware of the fact that this security umbrella

10:00or this peaceful umbrella that we've been living under over the past few decades,

10:05it isn't a given.

10:07We've also had sort of muted security discussions in Iceland over the past few decades, I would say.

10:14The American military left in 2005, 2006,

10:17and there hasn't been an open discussion about security threats in Iceland for a long time.

10:22And now all of a sudden we're seeing this in our backyard.

10:25So obviously our support is fully with the Ukrainian people.

10:28We've had donations going there both on military aid and humanitarian aid,

10:36but it's also changing the security landscape.

10:39And it's something that we have to push forward with.

10:42Would you feel safer inside the European Union?

10:45So we feel safe where we are right now.

10:48I wouldn't consider EU discussions or EU accessions as driven by security in and of itself.

10:54I've often had this question, especially because we saw Sweden and Finland joining NATO sort of on the back of these security concerns.

11:02But NATO is a security alliance, right?

11:05It's a it's a defense alliance.

11:07The EU isn't a defense alliance in and of itself, even though it's building itself up.

11:12We should join the EU as part of a broader picture.

11:16I don't want to drive our EU accession talks based on fear.

11:20I don't want it based on this is the only possibility we have.

11:24This is the only way forward for Iceland.

11:26This is the only way to progress.

11:28I think that's going to lead to a polarizing debate.

11:31I think it's more important to look at EU membership as a broad spectrum.

11:37Culture, economy, finances, you know, where do we belong?

11:42Where do we do muster trade?

11:44Where do we want to be a part of?

11:46So a lot of challenges for you as you just mark 100 days in office.

11:50Prime Minister, thank you so much for being our guest here on the Europe Conversation.

11:54See you soon.

11:55Thank you.
