00:00Thanks so much, Caroline. Did the president call fiscal conservatives who are hesitant to vote for the big, beautiful bill? And if so, what did they say? What did he say?
00:08I don't reveal the president's private discussions unless he gives me the liberty to, but he has been engaged in this process. He spoke to the Speaker of the House, and he will continue to make those phone calls if it's necessary for him. Sure.
00:22Thank you, Caroline.
00:23I'll go to both of you. Go ahead.
00:24Thank you. Any updates on Greenland? Will the president be making any trips, and do we have any detail that you can share with us?
00:30I don't have any future foreign trips to read out for you. We just returned home from one.
00:34But the president maintains the reasoning for Greenland's strategic purposes in the Arctic, and he continues to remain committed to the idea of obtaining Greenland in whatever means we can to advance our national security interests in the region.
