BREAKING NEWS: Greenland, Trump, & the New Fight Over Arctic Power | Shane Smith Has Questions

So, we're in Copenhagen, normally very quiet  Copenhagen. And why do I say normally quiet?  

Because now it's very hot. Several European  countries are sending troops to Greenland in  

a show of support for Denmark as it tries to  persuade President Trump not to take over the  

island. It's one of the hottest discussions in  geopolitics right now because America has said  

that they want to have some type of economic  or otherwise annexation of Greenland which  

is for now run by the Danes and we've  said well you know maybe Greenland will  

separate. The Danes are saying no there's  negotiations. American senators have just  

arrived here a few hours ago into the prime  minister's office and will be addressing their  

parliament about what exactly is happening  with America, Greenland, and the Danes.

We're here in Danish Parliament. There's  a bipartisan committee of senators here  

from America meeting with the Danish  Parliament about annexation. And so  

we're going to try to get a question  in Come on, we'll go over to the side.

Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you, Rice News.  What's going on? We just wanted to ask you if  

it was brought up in the panel about the  buildup of troops over the last two days  

that's been happening in Greenland. Nobody  can get in because there's so many troop  

planes going in and out. And so for you didn't  talk about you didn't talk about that. Um,  

what were the biggest things you focused on?  You know, the biggest was our chance to listen  

to the heartfelt uh self desire Greenlanders to  be respected, right? Uh so it's quite irring for  

us. Excuse me. Oh, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.  Hi, how are you? Right here. Can I just get one  

quick question? Uh journalists can't get into  Greenland right now because the airspace has  

been so busy because of so many troop movements.  What do you have to do? Did you talk about that  

in the panel? We can't report on it because  there's so many troop movements in there. No,  

you didn't talk about it. No. You have any  reason for that? No. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

Nice to meet you. I'm pouring this. Pouring.  Can I get one question, sir? Did you talk at  

all in the panel about the recent buildup of  troops into Greenland? No civilian aircraft can  

get in and out. We talked about the strategy.  Yeah. So, we're working together. That's what  

this is all about. All right. Thank you. Excuse  me. Hi. How are you? Right here. Right here.  

Right here. Hi. Hello. Thank you for this taking  the time. Sorry. You have been very persistent,  

but sorry. We have I don't know. We just wanted  to Did the panel discuss at all the recent buildup  

of troops that's happened from Europe and NATO  into Greenland? I can say this was a confidential  

space. Uh but what we focused on there was  to strengthen our dialogue based on respect  

and trust and and uh and then there was a very uh  strong willingness from the American delegation to  

listen into our colleagues from Greenland and hear  their experiences uh hear what they are facing,  

hear the voices from Greenland and and listen in  to how the current situation is creating a lot  

of uncertainty and fear, anxiety amongst kids.  Uh and that I think was uh something that made  

a impression on the the litigation that I can say  and what were the Americans most concerned about  

during this panel discussion? Well, I can't refer  from the but I can refer from what they said here.  

uh I think they are uh that there's a joint wish  to have deescalate uh and not to be seen uh in any  

way here as confrontational uh or divisional but  it's a bipartisan litigation that share a wish to  

have a dialogue based on trust based on respect  and it was emphasized I can say also without  

tariff voting individual members how crucial this  This is for our alliance unusual. This is uh for  

our uh prosperity, our freedom and our security.  And that that was a a clear and strong message  

within the room from every participant. Thank  you for your time, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
