  • >> GREENLAND WAS JUST AN IDEA,

  • JUST A THOUGHT BUT WHEN THEY SAY

  • IT WAS ABSURD AND SAID THEY

  • NASTY, VERY SARCASTIC WAY I

  • SAID, WE WILL MAKE IT SOME OTHER

  • TIME.

  • WE WILL GO TO DENMARK.

  • I LOVE DENMARK.

  • I'VE BEEN TO DENMARK.

  • WE WILL DO IT ANOTHER TIME.

  • >> Martha: PRESIDENT TRUMP

  • EXPLAINING WHY HE SCRAPPED HIS

  • UPCOMING TRIP TO DENMARK TO

  • DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE

  • SALE OF GREENLAND, THAT DECISION

  • WIDELY PANNED BY THE PEOPLE AND

  • POLITICIANS WHO SPOKE OUT IN

  • DENMARK.

  • WATCH.

  • >> I THINK IT'S A VERY BAD WAY

  • OF TALKING ABOUT A COUNTRY AND

  • ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE OF

  • GREENLAND.

  • I THINK HE NEEDS TO SHOW SOME

  • MORE RESPECT.

  • >> HE ACTS LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.

  • THE DANISH PUBLIC, CLEAR

  • MESSAGES TO THE AMERICAN

  • WORKERS, PLEASE VOTE FOR ANOTHER

  • PRESIDENT NEXT TIME.

  • >> Martha: MY NEXT GUEST WE

  • DID THIS TODAY, TRUMP ASSUMES

  • THE ANONYMOUS PART OF OUR

  • COUNTRY IS FOR SALE ON THAT

  • INSULTINGLY CANCELS THE VISIT

  • THAT EVERYONE WAS PREPARING FOR.

  • OUR PARTS FOR THE U.S. FOR SALE?

  • ALASKA?

  • PLEASE SHOW SOME MORE RESPECT.

  • THE FORMER MINISTER OF BUSINESS.

  • THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

  • WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO WHAT

  • THE PRESIDENT'S?

  • HE SAID IT WAS AN IDEA, A

  • SUGGESTION AND HE DIDN'T EXPECT

  • IN HIS WORDS, A NASTY RESPONSE.

  • >> IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE ARE

  • SUCH WORDS ON BOTH SIDES.

  • IT WAS A SURPRISE TO US AND

  • DENMARK THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP

  • WOULD PUBLICLY RAISE THE IDEA OF

  • BUYING GREENLAND BECAUSE NOBODY

  • IN DENMARK OR GREENLAND HAS EVER

  • INDICATED THAT IT WOULD BE FOR

  • SALE.

  • IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO

  • CONSULT THE EMBASSY, ANY ONE AND

  • THE FOREIGN MINISTRY IN THE U.S.

  • OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT

  • RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE GOING OUT

  • WITH AN IDEA BECAUSE IT WAS HARD

  • FOR THE PRIME MINISTER TO

  • BLANKLEY SAY NO, THAT IS THE

  • CASE AND IT'S NOT FOR SALE.

  • WE DON'T WANT TO INSULT THE U.S.

  • AND NOTHING PRESIDENT, BUT THE

  • IDEA OF BUYING PART OF DANISH

  • TERRITORY AND THE 50,000 PEOPLE

  • LIVING THERE IS INSULTING

  • BECAUSE IT'S TALKING ABOUT

  • GREENLAND LIKE IT'S SOME KIND OF

  • COMMODITY AND IT'S REAL PEOPLE

  • LIVING THERE.

  • IT'S NOT A COMMODITY, NOT FOR

  • SALE AND IT'S INDICATING WE

  • WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT GREENLAND

  • AND WE DO.

  • >> Martha: AS HE MENTIONED,

  • MIKE POMPEO PUT OUT AN

  • EXPRESSION OF ALLIANCE TO HIS

  • COUNTERPART AND DENMARK TODAY SO

  • WHAT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING

  • TO SMOOTH THIS OVER.

  • IT'S INTERESTING THAT 67% OF ALL

  • ADULT GREEN LENDERS SUPPORT A

  • VISION OF GREENLAND AS

  • AN INDEPENDENT STATE AND THEY DO

  • TAKE ABOUT $600 MILLION FROM THE

  • DANISH ECONOMY IN ORDER TO

  • SUPPORT THEMSELVES, OTHER PEOPLE

  • AND DENMARK WHO DISAGREE?

  • ARE PEOPLE SAY, WE DON'T NEED

  • GREENLAND AND THEY WOULD RATHER

  • BE ON THEIR OWN ANYWAY?

  • >> I DON'T THINK YOU WILL FIND

  • ALMOST ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SELL

  • GREENLAND.

  • IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THERE

  • DECISION.

  • THEY ARE VERY INDEPENDENT.

  • THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CULTURE AND

  • THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.

  • THEY ARE PART OF THE KINGDOM OF

  • DENMARK, BUT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN

  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY DECIDE

  • ON THOSE MATTERS LOCALLY.

  • THEY STILL HAVE CHOSEN TO REMAIN

  • PART OF DENMARK BECAUSE THEY

  • THINK THAT IS BEST FOR

  • GREENLAND.

  • THAT'S UP TO THEM.

  • >> Martha: THE PRESIDENT WOULD

  • LIKE DENMARK TO UP THEIR

  • CONTRIBUTION TO NATO SO IT'S A

  • FULL 2% OF YOUR GDP.

  • DO YOU AGREE?

  • >> I AGREE WITH THAT PERSONALLY.

  • I'M A CONSERVATIVE MYSELF.

  • I AGREE THAT THE U.S. SHOULDN'T

  • PAY FOR OUR SECURITY.

  • I THINK ALL NATO MEMBERS NEED TO

  • SPEND MORE AND LIVE UP TO THE 2%

  • TARGET.

  • >> Martha: WE FOUND OUT

  • SOMETHING YOU AGREE ON,

  • EVERYBODY AGREES ON.
