pushed their way in. >> bill: 8 countries in the world share the arctic circle, and china ain't one of in 2018, they invited themselves in the club and set up a science lab ow on a northern island far away from the arctic circle. >> and they are part of it, and mineral-rich greenland to his point provides another resource and we get our hands on and means china doesn't. >> harris: three times the size of texas and also rich in oil and gas. china stated goal, world's number 1 super power. and president trump is simply saying okay, different administration, different leader, not going to sit back and empower and enrich all of these nations that want to wipe the united states off the face of the earth. so you take president trump, that press conference, you take him seriously. maybe not literally, so some of these things will get done. the one thing that jumped out for me was when he said -- his threat about the hostages in gaza that he reiterated. by the middle of the day on january 20th, the united states and israel will be aligned like this. >> bill: there were two bodies found today i

the arctic circle. the ice is melting. what is coming out is methane, you're never going to control it , what are you going to do? so much is changing. if we don't leave the world's food leads? who has the capacity? not a joke? we can do it since we came to office without sending american forces so let me close with the senate point of personal privilege, a lucky person wakes up and believes what he or she matters. what you do will matter but one piece of advice i was reluctant to say, going back to what i told you teddy kennedy and fritz and tom and a number of republicans as well decided to keep me engaged and invite me to everything. teddy used to invite me to lunch, i just wanted to do my job and go home and many of you have been through what i have been through and worse, so he says you are going to lunch with me so i went over to the private senate dining room. there was -- i -- i -- i was fairly successful at bringing together coalitions and obama and i would meet every morning and we were the last person we would s

we've seen what happened with and -- russian aggression in the arctic circle and green and has become increasingly powerful shipping lane. china we have seen expand their influence, whether that be in central or south america. right now this is a massive national security risk that china could effectively flip a switch and the canal would be shut down fear this wood cause massive chaos and havoc to the united states. president trump is coming in having done this before and having had this great set of results. looking at the entire chessboard saying he's going to position the united states and the place where we can succeed. that includes securing our southern border by the way martha and making sure folks even neighbors and such as canadians, are no longer taking advantage of us win it comes to economic or trade issues. >> very quickly jason let's put up what prime minister trudeau who is outgoing and resigning what he had to say about this. he said there isn't a snowball's chance in that canada would become part of the united states workers and communities in both of our countries b

. >> the main thing is related to why he wants the panama canal back is that the arctic circle in becauseglobal warning, it will reduce the time from the atlantic asia to 20 days. it is massive and we won't need the panama canal if the arctic sea goes over. right now the arctic circle, russia controls a massive part of it and agree not to make greenland is they are in canada and a tiny porsche portion and alaska. he wants all about on the western side of it. we do not want the arctic ceiling to volunteer russia and chinese control. that is like losing panama canal to china. >> john: you are saying not only greenland but -- >> he keeps talking about -- i'm not down with the whole big canada 51st state because i don't want quebec. i don't want ontario, but i would like alberta. they have got whale and they are conservative and i like the northwest and then at that and take control from alaska to northwest charters through greenland. we went control the entire arctic ceiling with the u.s. military. i think that would be awesome. >> john: that idea economic -- let's talk about the transition

let's look at why greenland is emerging as a critical pi, a in global politics, situated near the arctic circle, it says it's a gateway to the optic that has been transformed by rapidly melting ice shades. new transit routes are emerging through the northwest passage. they could revolutionize maritime trade between europe, asia, and north america, by reducing to in these by thousands of kilometers the greens, greenland ice sheets, i believe just to boss deposits of precious metals and fossil fuels. setting the stage for a new results, rise in the global north for more on this which when by mckayla ellison who is a senior research and at the danish institute for international studies. he joins us now from copenhagen. thank you very much for being with us here. on al jazeera, at festival, we'll get to the strategic importance of greenland, and just a moment that the danish foreign ministers, companies, the cities ready to talk to donald trump about all of this is, is this packaging trump? was he serious about actually coming to some sort of agreement to think of, i think is that the issue is for

actually favors russia as the arctic brows. 0 is now available and is in russia. shares much of the arctic circle now, united states in a push to reach parity with russia in the very strategic artic region. now that this is white, now donald trump is vocally talking about taking over not really good canada as well. does this is this is a way they're trying to. some p was rushing off of the arctic resources. yeah, i mean, you know, you mentioned canada. there's also they want to change the name of the. busy mexico to the gulf of america. there's all sorts of weird things happening. some people might call little one big distraction though. i was in title to their opinions. i wanted to ask you if i may, i know from chokes a lot. he below has a lot of hot air and go pressing for it, frankly. 1 when it comes to greenland, he didn't rule out a military option when it comes to acquiring greenland from denmark. i mean, surely he's just blowing hot a ride. well, there's not much your team could do about it. i mean, what's the, what's been mark, are you going to do, asked for nato protection. united states

. >> greenland was the conversation and concerns about the arctic circle and investments by china andsia. that was a conversation. to what extent was about us acquiring or taking over, but more of the security level. there was not a conversation about ma or making canada the 51st state. i think some of that is trolling. there is juxtaposition as well. frank, if you look at some of the decisions they made in the transition, joined with the biden administration to oppose a merger for u.s. steel benefits china by hurting japan who is our closest ally against china, it allows china to have 50% or more of manufacturing of steel globally. today, the trump administration focus on the prosecution. don't forget, he filed a brief with the supreme court that is being heard today about tiktok. you know, the first administration, the first trump administration said tiktok was spyware. now he wants to abandon the legislation and allow china to own tiktok. the initial decisions have been pro china. >> it sounds like a big switch with philosophy and tiktok. during the first administration, it is nati

trump will sit down with the entities and we understand that china and russia is moving into the arctic circle. they are moving in with ice busters that is close we need a present there, right now we have a military presence if we could make a deal with them with more presence we have to be able to protect our northern front, what better way to make a better relationship with greenland also better relationship with the people in th the ac in the. >> thank you senator tommy tuberville, good luck tomorrow in the hearing. >> thank you. larry: coming on kudlow will congress ever cut spending in our lifetime? you know ever cut spending two trillion dollar deficit. even more education lone cancellations -- loan cancelations, unbelievable, art laffer is coming on and steve moore is coming on took you can catch kudlow, monday through friday 4 preliminary her -- 4 p.m. here on fabulous fox business, if you can't catch us at 4 text your favorite 9-year-old and she will show you how to dvr the show and you will never miss greenland, that is what you will never miss, grind land, i'm kudlow we'll be right

i totally agree with you the importance of greenland for the arctic circle mineral rich deposits thato thanks on this can selectively pick things like the eagles and the mountains which i really love. at the end of the day his focus is on the economy. at the end of the day when he talked about the threats that would make them acquiesce. the prime minister stepped down as leader of the party. is trolling if that is what it is is working and hopefully it will work in the intelligence and all of the tariff sectors -- sectors which is really the prime consideration for our safety what we need. >> greg: you much like your comedy shows, joe, greenland is sparsely populated. >> wow. much like my comedy shows, handled like a greenland, everybody wants a piece. >> greg: nice. >> i will say this be careful what you wish for people who want to merge with canada because canada is a lot like my ex canadian girlfriends. codes, enormous, and makes you want to commit euthanasia after a while. i miss you, beverly. >> greg: all right. coming up i would rather sit on a cactus then watch this royal actre

returned last summer from argentina, they pretty much bought up everything around argentina, the arctic circle have got to get in the game. we have not been in the game for four years. president trump's going to to get us back in the game. he's going to make some tough decisions. it sounds crazy, the things he's trying to do, but he's spot on because we are in trouble not just domestically, but internationally with everything going on with china and russia and, of course, iran. and north korea, it's going to be, the it's going to be a fight, and it's going to be a fight that we're going to have to back president trump on all this and give him an opportunity to make some headway in international diplomacy. larry: senator sheehy, as senator tuberville's suggesting, here we are, president trump is still president-elect trump although it has been certified, of course. but he is reestablishing, it seems to me, reestablishing america's footprint on world affairs. he's not invading, he's not bombing, but he's reestablishing america's footprint. most marley -- particularly, the part i really like is h

together these are the countries in the arctic circle. greenland is roughly three times the size of texas and has a population of nearly 60,000 people, 88% of whom are indigenous inuit people who have been there for thousands of years. it was first colonized by the united kingdom of denmark and norway in the early 18th century and it remains part of europe as an autonomous territory of denmark. currently an ally of ours. it's unclear why greenland, which is self-rule within the kingdom of denmark and has political representation, would just settle for colonial status in america, with no full representation in congress, like a frozen version of puerto rico, guam, the u.s. virgin islands or washington, d.c. just a downgrade to their access to european healthcare alone seems prohibitive. ditto canada. so why does trump care so much about taking greenland? well it's sort of simple and very said. climate change is melting arctic ice, exposing more greenland's vast wealth of rare minerals and energy resources, things we need to fuel the renewab

i totally agree with you the importance of greenland for the arctic circle, for the mineral rich depositslike that's huge. canada. no thanks. unless we can selectively pick things like. the eagles and the mountains, which i really love. but at the end of the day, you know, his focus is on the economy. so nothing is the at the end of the day when he talked about the threats that would make them acquiesce. i mean, look at this. we, the prime minister, stepped down as leader of the party. yeah, like his trolling, if that's what it is. it's working. yeah. and now hopefully it's going to work in the intelligence and all of the terrorist sectors, which is really the prime consideration of our safety and what we need. you know, you know, joe, much like your comedy shows, greenland is sparsely populated or or wow, it much like my comedy shows like greenland. >> everyone wants a piece. yeah. nice. well, i'll say this. be. be careful what you wish for. people want to merge with canada because canada is a lot like my ex. canadian girlfriend's cold, enormous, and makes you want to commit euthanasia a

what what kind of answer is there to make sure that we don't lose our strong nato position in the arctic circlethat endangers or puts us in danger from russia, and that we don't allow china to take advantage of its desire to be hard for some people to hear this, but to be an arctic power. the problem with what trump is doing today is not the end result of what might be a quiet negotiation. the problem is, by doing it all in public, because he likes to hear himself talk, he's making it harder to achieve his own objectives. certainly with respect to greenland, but also with respect to to panama. the canada stuff is just trolling justin trudeau. but on greenland, this is very, very serious. suppose greenland became independent of denmark and agreed to hold russian or chinese air and naval stations there. that would be, to say the least, troubling for the united states. so this question of the greenland u.s. security relationship goes back a long, long way. donald trump didn't discover greenland today or back in 2019. it goes back a long way, and the way to resolve it with the government of denmark

and when you see increased activity by bad actors of russia and china in the arctic tucker 18, it's important for -- circleortant for us to insert our sovereignty and is send a message to china. this is our sand box and you're nicole not welcome and increased shipping in the arctic, it's important we put our flag down. keep in mind, you know, your reporter talked about lack of infrastructure, lack of tourism. if it becomes part of the united states, that will change. it'll be a huge opportunity because there's tremendous resources, not just to mention the beautiful country and people, but tremendous resources that can be used to enrich the people to enrich the united states and secure the future of the united states of america. stuart: now, it was you who introduced this bill allowing negotiations to buy greenland. did trump talk to you at all? did he prompt you to do this? >> well, you know, obviously trump is his own man and made comments and we've looked into it and had dinner with the president on friday night and and this is a topic of conversation and this is president trump, art of the deal ask sign
