1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 2: Donald Trump says he's got a deal on Greenland. The

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: US president's backtracking on threats to seize the Danish territory

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter. No detail yet

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: on exactly what has been agreed to Trump. No longer

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: intent on slapping tariffs on Europe. Also, no longer You'll

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: be pleased. You can breathe a sigh of relief. Europe

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: won't be sending the troops in. Matt Tyrell is a

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: former chief of staff to Marco Rubio's presidential campaign. With

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: me tonight, Matt, good evening, They r Ian Gread to

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: be with you. So what's the game plan here for

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Trump on Greenland? Do you think is this the last

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: will hear of it? Or what?

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: Well, look, I think that this framework there's a cheap today,

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: it's really a major step forward. And obviously here's a

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: more negotiation will be done here in the coming days.

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: But look, this is ending up or is it always

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: going to end up? And that is President Trump getting

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: what he wants with respect to Greenland, which he has

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: been clearer that is vital for both national security and

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: other purposes. And look, we'll see where this all goes.

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: But this is a major win for President Trump, for

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: the United States and for the safety and security of

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the world.

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: But what's he actually won. What is the framework? Because

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: you can put you know, there's a military base there already,

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: you can searge the troop numbers if you want. What

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: else is there that he names wants?

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: Sure, Well, look, we'll see where this all takes shape here,

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: but based on the reporting, it appears that there's going

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: to be the ability, it sounds like for the United

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: States to gain control of key pockets of land in

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Green eleven. You put in place President Trump's Golden Dome

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: for a missile defense. We'll see where this all goes.

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: But I suspect the ability for the United States to

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: have the presidence has required to counter China, to counter Russia.

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: So obviously this is building on a tree if the

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: United States has with Greenland in terms of the ability

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: to have a military presence already there. But it's critical

40
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: for President Trump, in his eyes at least, to boaster that,

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: to ensure that we enhance that. And really it comes

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: down to China Russia encountering what they're doing in that

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: part of the world. Greenland is vital for nasal security.

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: It's not just President Trump who's believed that President Truman,

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: a Democrat, tried to acquire Greenland. The United States has

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: acquired land before Louisiana Alaska. Those are key examples. The

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: bottom line is that this is vital for national security.

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: President Trump has been clear about that, and this is

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: a win for him. This is a step forward. But

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: obviously more discussion are going to take place here between

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: President Trump and his foreign policy team. As foreign policy

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: team talk with the necessary parties on this, we'll see

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: what takes shape here in terms of next steps. But

54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: this was a significant move forward. And again this ended

55
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: where it's always going to end, President Trump moving the

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: ball forward, the United States having a greater presence in Greenland.

57
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean it's that playbook, the big threat

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: and then the compromise and then getting probably what he

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: really wanted in the first place. Who's next? You know,

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: we've had Venezuela, We've had green Land. Who else should

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: be is on the list?

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: Well, A lot of what President Trump is doing right

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: now is really the counter China, in the growing presence

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: of China. But also it's about Iran. You know, obviously

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Iran is a top of mind right now for people

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: around the world, particularly for the people in Iran right now,

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: who are of course are taking to the streets and protesting,

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: and that's going to be obviously something to watch here.

69
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: You know, what President Trump did in Venezuela, well, it's

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: in part to put further pressure on Iran. You know,

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of what he's doing around the world is

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, playing within four dimensional chess. And the bottom

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: line here is all of this is interconnected in many ways.

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: What he's doing on Greenland is countering China and Russia.

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: What he did in Venezuela in many ways was trying

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: to counter other threats beyond what Nicholas Maduro presented. So

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, this is something that President Trump has really

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: going on the offense of right now, national security, protecting

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: the United States. Ultimately, this is a part of his

80
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: America First agenda, how do you make America more prosperous, safer,

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: and more secure, And in part that's obviously looking at

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: what other threats are out there. Iran's a major one

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: to watch, and we'll see what takes place with that.

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960
