it lies between the atlantic, an arctic oceans, and it belongs to denmark. its residents, are you citizens? but donald trump, things it should be part of the us. people really don't even know if denmark has any legal rights to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. that's for the free world. i'm talking about protecting the free will use comments both this reaction from denmark. you look at the statement in the eyes of the danish government under greenland is for the greenland, dis people funding fastpitch. it is a proud people, a language and culture that has their own, some and a stated before by the chem and if the queen landed condiment, which is the green and is not for so also on the agenda for trump, the panama canal, a key trade volts, away for ships traveling between the atlantic and pacific oceans. it was largely built by the us in the early 20th century. but panama took over full control of the canal in 1999. the press conference, trump refused to ru allowance, using military force to get it back. can

we should say trump 1st floated the idea of buying the arctic island back in 2019. during his 1st term, it came to nothing then, but is more at play this time round. more soon after this reports, greenland, the world's largest island home to just 57000 people. it lies between the atlantic and onto the oceans, and it belongs to denmark. its residents, are you citizens? but donald trump, things it should be part of the us. people really don't even know if denmark has any legal rights to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. that's for the free world. i'm talking about protecting that very well. use comments? both this reaction from denmark. you look at the statement in the eyes of the danish government on greenland is for the greenland. does people fun fast? it's, it is a proud people, a language and culture, the does their own. some and a stated before by the chem, and if the queen land economy, which is green and is not for so also on the agenda for trump, the panama canal, a key trade waterway for ships traveling betwe

but today that laughter is where he's been. donald trump is a gun lane claims to the arctic island and beyond. and he hasn't rules out military action. so is this just from trying to be provocative, or does the world actually need to take this seriously? i'm going to richardson in berlin. you are watching the day the what we need when for national security check, what do you mean? it's not a percentage. i'm talking about protecting the free world for the soul for any t. also states has to be respected. the principle of and viability of food is applies to every country. the panama canal was built for a military. so it, any of our canals? sovereignty is not negotiable and it's appropriate. it's appropriate. also a head on the day, the man leading the race to be germany's next chancellor. the conservative feverish merits gets his campaign under way and his leadership plans come with a warning about trumps. the 2nd term we must expect to see disruptive political decisions in the us and the week of the next. when donald trump becomes president, trump, you've all seen and heard examples of t

at the royal danish defence college, and co author of greenland in arctic security, machacobsen. control of green and chris mcdonald i was talking about national security but tell me more. it is important to emphasise that the us already have military control of greenland. what donald trump wants an extension of that, that is a good question. that's why other reason the us has interesting greenland? one is greenland has a strategic location located in the middle of the arctic, between north america and russia. if tricia were to send missiles towards the north america, towards washington, they would fly via the north pole over greenland and

an arctic based on developing equal dialogue in cooperation with other arctic states, even if this comes to their nato allies, such an approach risks, further degradation of the situation in the region. and without a doubt, will be taken into account in russia's military planning. yeah, you're listening to the russian about it as a deadlock. are i the column and in your opinion, tells me about the impact in the art take care because it does seem, as you say, a rush. i mean this new frontier is a land rush right now. the climate change 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

near the arctic it calls itself a near arctic state it is an observer on the arctic council.at cooperating for russia to dominate the arctic. united states and canada which are really arctic states have been slow to respond to the beijing challenges. >> bees to have something called the monroe doctrine think john kerry another failed secretary of state announced that it is an arcane belief we don't believe in that anymore basically simply put was things are going on on our hemisphere of the business of the united states united states will take whatever steps necessary anywhere in our hemisphere to protect the united states as interest economic, military and geographic. communist chinese have a basis basis andhave docs in all kindss throughout south and central america, do they not? >> they have 48 port facilities throughout latin america and the caribbean. they are building embassies in small caribbean stage which are gigantic. we know it they are doing there. so, throughout the region there more influential than the united states is. we can see that the way biden was treated

and the arctic is one of those regions. and so i think a lot of what we're seeing here is actually a, what should we say, a tension between the quite pause of, of stuff that has very little to do with the arctic that spills over into the arctic region. and that's what's the point of this is, is the phone to handle. yeah. can you just give us a little bit of a background in context here, how, how united to the people of green land with the politicians in denmark at this point in time? can you just give us more of an idea about the relationship and who really holds the power of the future of the island? well, definitely i'll be happy to what we meant. the king of a bad luck, which encompasses denmark, bring on the federal islands in each. really, each part of the kingdom, including the firewalls and green, has a lot to say about their own matters. and it's in, in the wasn't comfortable you lived there is little doubt that to should greenland want to go for self determination. these private, as i said this again, again very re

we had this cold arctic air. this - this cold arctic air.fortunately, at this time of year, whenever you get subfreezing temperatures you are going to get another issue when another weather front comes in. i also want to point out, because it's not covered in the amber warning, that we have other warnings out. ijust want to go through the snow accumulations. the front actually moves into southern scotland during tomorrow, may be the high ground of northern ireland, we could see as much as 20 centimetres. it's not out of the question that if you are a plate you could see a few centimetres in the south—east but we we are inspecting that to turn into rain. the but we we are inspecting that to turn into rain.— to turn into rain. the far south of _ to turn into rain. the far south of the _ to turn into rain. the far south of the country - to turn into rain. the far south of the country is l to turn into rain. the far - south of the country is going to be spared the worst of it. scotland will turn bitterly cold, but far south will turn 13 degrees.

it goes back to the 18605 the arctic. then again president truman in 1946, i and then again president truman in 19116, i believe, raise that issue again and as you mentioned, last term, you know, trump raised it again. now that the climate is warming, there is a lot of race to the arctic right now because it has these strategic pathways from the us in terms of all the americas. there is also a lot of natural resources, gold, copper, uranium that china, russia and the us are competing for so it is an area of strategic national interest. as the prime minister of denmark and the greenland authorities have said, it is not for sale. it is a self—governing territory. it is controlled and get economic aid by denmark but the greenland is the ones who will decide what to do and if they have said the property is not for sale. have said the property is no

is this figure that basically says how bottled up all the cold areas in the arctic and when the arctic oscillation is positive? it means like the arctics, basically hugging all the cold air and keeping it in. but when that senior goes negative, it's like the r to get kind of releasing its arms, releasing that cold air to the lower latitudes. and right now we have the most negative arkansas solution since october meeting. it's winter time, there's a lot of cold air up there. we're releasing that down. and it's no surprise. we're seeing heavy snows across the central portions of the united states. okay. no surprise. so do we presume that the, the cities and regions offer pad for these ice storms and blizzards as well? no surprise versus preparation or 2 kind of different things. in this case, one of the tricky elements was that the ice preceded the snow, and often times ice comes down as freezing rain. so the rain comes down as a liquid, then freezes on contact with the ground. when that happens, it washes away any pretty treatment in the roadway, so they've cruise can't really get ahead

you talk about competition in the arctic over natural resources, greenland is hugely important.are earth minerals which are key to making defense products -- we have 1.3% of rare earth minerals. china has 70%. greenland is rich in this, and even john bolton, a critic of the trump administration said yesterday, i have always seen the strategic importance of greenland. >> which is interesting since he was visiting there in florida. i wonder if it's part of the conversation. to that end, denmark is clear they don't mine for that. this would represent a very serious shift of utilization of greenland. >> yeah, we'll have to wait and see. i'm actually much more optimistic about our ability to cut through ice. having lived in minnesota, one of the early dates with my husband up in duluth on the great lake of superior was to watch an ice cutter come in. at that point, the lake superior which is the size of the ocean, basically, up there, would come in and ice was so thick that we were driving our cars out on to places like raynard and 18 wheelers were dropping the houses. i don't know h

it's one of the big areas of all countries that are in the arctic. and it actually is one of the places where they have many sort of equipment since the 2nd world war to make sure that they get early warning systems for the us. so um, i think it's more of a sense of security for us to have bases and remove and also have their radar stations in green. and so for us it doesn't really matter for anyone and bring them that they have a base. we actually like it. and i don't, i'm not quite sure that it's as a scary for with having us bases in reading that some would make it because it's always a thing state that is putting minutes or a personal amongst the local population. the us doesn't do that. and for the file political party, our views that the state should put the military personnel amongst the civilian as well. if they don't need to i, i know that you're looking at the positive aspect of all of this. but how is this affecting, you think washington's relationship with a c or p and allies as well. i think one of the very important things to notice as

we went control the entire arctic ceiling with the u.s. military.hink that would be awesome. >> john: that idea economic -- let's talk about the transition because donald trump is very upset what joe biden has been doing the last few days. listen to what he said. they are they are inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration and thee trying everything they can to make it more difficult. and i have been disappointed to see the biden administration's attempt to block the reforms of the american people that they voted for. >> john: the majority of the america electorate voted for donald trump because they like his policies. biden is doing everything he can is seems to come up the work of the white house. >> 100% every president tries to lock in his legacy and get judges confirmed for the elections and spend the money from the bill she passed. it is entirely different thing when donald trump ran on drill, baby, drill and not just electoral college landslide but decisive vote victory. the american people voted for that. it is one of

as climate change warms the arctic, it may become more valuable still.s more than that. this week, he posted that greenland will benefit tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation. and he was asked if he'd rule out using military or economic coercion to gain control of greenland and the panama canal. no, i can't assure you on either of those two. greenland makes its own laws. it has its own prime minister. and he says greenland is not for sale. in fact, he wants full independence from denmark. and this week in denmark, he said, greenland belongs to the greenlanders. the danish prime minister has used that exact same phrase emphasises greenland is not for sale. but this issue is unlikely to go away. yesterday, donald trump's son donjr, was in greenland on what he called a personal trip. a little bit of fun. but there are other ways of describing it because as donjr well knows, his father, soon to be president, talks of ownership of greenland being an absolute necessity. donald trump's commitment to putting america first appears in this case to

the same journey via the arctic could take as little as ten. threaten those routes. greenland is home to vast and largely untapped reserves of rare earth metals, critical for technology like smart phones and electric cars. but for now greenlanders showing little interest in joining the u.s., and experts warn american security would be harmed not helped by trying to force them. >> i think the best thing we could do is to continue a strategy of robust engagement working directly with the greenlanders. >> reporter: an increasingly hot global competition now under way for this cold corner of the earth. >> and raf joins me now live from outside of the danish embassy in london. as you point out, denmark is an american ally and a member of nato, so is there really any chance greenland changes hands? >> reporter: willie, danish officials are saying the sale of greenland is not something that's on the table, but pretty much everything else is. if the u.s. wants to expand its military presence beyond that one base, they say they're open to discussing tha

it's one of the be areas, the all countries that are in the arctic. and it actually is one of the places where they have many sort of equipment. since the 2nd world war to make sure that they get early warning systems for us on the political parties in green. and i agreed upon is the statement that we don't want to change. we don't want to be american citizens. we want to be 3 letters in greenland, and one of the things is it is that defines us is our r t good location of course. so we don't mind working with our neighbors. and that's one of the main messages we've given so far. what trump initially flows had the idea of acquiring greenland back in 2019, during his 1st presidency. he's now pushing the idea again, but it's not that everyone is taking him seriously. meanwhile, some media outlets are promoting conspiracies over the story, including walls, claims of russian involvement in 2019 donald trump 1st announced that the united states could buy greenland from denmark. according to danish intelligence. his statement could have been the result of a

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

to own reading, and during his 1st presidency, the island nation has a strategic location in the arctic for trade and defense. and the bounty of natural resources i asked, are washington correspondent, you know, new milan if we should take from interest in greenland seriously, as well as the repeated mentions over the years are an indication of seriousness. then i guess it is fair to say that he might be pretty serious at this time as well . now you mentioned in the report that i, he already tried to by greenland in his 1st term. in fact, he had to postpone a state visit in 2019 to denmark after the danish prime minister said that greenland wasn't for sale. and that was an absurd idea. this is something that she has had to say again this time around and so has off the prime minister of greenland itself. and, you know, we have to say that, so his refusal to rule out the economic and military co, ers, and those in themselves are quite serious pronouncements. now this is trump, we don't know how much action will follow on from speech, but of course he is hard to ignore. last month, the dan

greenland is the world's largest island — it sits between the atlantic and arctic oceans — and it's 80%ritory has some 56,000 residents, most of them indigenous inuit people. this was the reaction from one foreign ministry official. there have been offers from the us before in history. and there has been disputes between denmark and norway but greenland is in you at country. so greenland is the country of the inuit, which we have common ancestry with inuit �*s in canada and alaska. james kristoffer miles is the editor of the news centre at the danish publication, ekstra bladet. it's putting on an extreme amount of pressure with denmark connection with greenland. the greenlandic prime minister was supposed to speak with the danish king, king frederick and that was postponed and now it's on again, it seems almost to be a humiliation torts the king, it is putting extreme amount of pressure on greenland denmark relationships, that has been strained for quite a few years now. when we are talking about the past that and mark has with greenland so it is really putting the relationship under a

and the bounty of natural resources. victoria herman is a senior fellow at the arctic institute, a non profit dedicated to artic security research. she joins me now. so i guess the question is, how seriously should denmark take donald trump's remarks about buying or c. c 's in greenwood that we should take donald trump seriously at his remarks because he has been interested in greenland not just for the past few days, but for the past few years. greenland has been an area of interest to the united states for over a 100 years, not to purchase or to and the to but to partner with greenland. and the kingdom of denmark are a strategic ally of the united states militarily, economically and culturally in this conversation. we forget that greenland is a homeland to 56000 people and they should just as much be part of the conversation as any politician here in dc. so how exactly do you justify or explain from interest in greenland is because of natural resources. greenland is rich in natural resources in cultural heritage and in leadership. the people of greenland have created a diverse and ro

that is why the chinese are aggressively doing whatever they can to become a quote arctic nation.that russia and china know that green -- greenland loaded with oil and rare earth minerals, a game changer for clean energy, china and russia are both active in greenland and the arctic, greenland has largest remaining oil resources and rare earth >> there is no question. 31 different minerals. the significant amounts of lithium and graphite which are key for electric vehicle batteries and high-tech cell phones and the like. what the chinese have done is create what is called polar silk road, when is like to make infrastructure investment and extraction minerals and other types of energy resources from the world. elizabeth: interesting stuff, we're running out of time colonel, we have a become on colonel mcguinnmcginnis thank you for joining us. >> we send it over to dagen mcdowell and guy
