well we need Greenland for national security purposes I started to learn a little bit
00:00:06
more about why he wants to take over Greenland it really comes down to one very basic idea here because of climate
00:00:13
change and other things the Arctic ice shelf is melting and the more and more it melts it opens up a shipping Lane in
00:00:19
the northern passage for a lot of critical goods and so if you had some sort of strategic agreement with Canada
00:00:26
and Greenland you effectively have this Monopoly control over something that could become as important as the Panama
00:00:33
Canal and so I think if you look across the world the control of Maritime shipping lanes becomes this really
00:00:39
critical strategic military and economic asset it's really smart that he's trying
00:00:44
to get this done for the United States of America because meanwhile what you have is China militarizing very
00:00:50
aggressively Russia militarizing very aggressively and what you don't want to have happen is those two countries take
00:00:55
control of that Northern passage as the ice sheet melts
