00:00The Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has praised the people of Greenland amid pressure
00:05from Trump. What has the response from Greenlanders actually been to this visit happening?
00:12The weird thing about the Trump strategy is that if you go back a year, the government of
00:19Greenland published a foreign policy strategy which was basically an invitation to the US
00:24to trade, investment, etc. But during the last three months of first an election campaign in
00:31Greenland, but also this more aggressive Trump campaign to get Greenland, Greenlanders have
00:38increasingly turned away from this hope that the US could bring investments and economic
00:47sustainability in a nice way, and more and more turned their back to what they see as an aggressive
00:54attempt to dominate them and take over their country, which of course they don't want.
