Greenland is important for us from a national security point of view.

We can never afford to wake up one day in a world where the Chinese or Russians have bases on Greenland.

It's basically a permanent deal. It allows us to put as many military bases as we need in order to defend everything.

It creates an investment screening process so that before any company can go in there and invest, they have to be screened by us and by Denmark to make sure that they're not linked to the Chinese or any non-NATO enemy country kind of thing, adversary.

It's a great deal.

There is a movement in Greenland that wants the option to one day become independent, and this deal stands whether they go independent or not.

It's not that the Greenlandic people hate America, they simply want the option to one day become an independent country if they so choose to do that.

I had nothing to do with 9/11. I was 13 years old at that time. I didn’t know anything about this stuff.

Of course, I am sorry for all the victims, both in the U.S. and those who fell in the Middle East because of the policies that were pursued there.

I don’t believe that it’s an appropriate time to discuss things that happened 25 years ago. I was at a different age, and the conditions in the region were different.

We're taking out 25-30 ships a night, sometimes during the day, but a lot of it's during the night.

The blockade is the strongest thing that anyone's ever seen. We call it a "Wall of Steel."

We now have more oil flowing through the Strait than at any point by far since the conflict began.

A big portion of what we've done, maybe 99% of it, is to make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Those sites have been blown up.

We may have to blow up another one, Pickaxe Mountain. We're not seeing a lot of activity there, but if we do, we'll blow it up immediately

I know these people. They’re brilliant people.

High energy, maybe sometimes too high energy, right?

We could use the brilliance and a little bit of a lower energy on occasion.

Either we’re gonna make a deal, or it’s gonna end very, very quickly.

It will end so quickly your head will spin.
