>> 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.
