because it feels like a betrayal
[0:02]
from the american PRESIDENT.
[0:04]
We have fought shoulder to
[0:07]
shoulder with your soldiers in
[0:12]
afghanistan and iraq
[0:12]
where we
[0:13]
have had greenlandic soldiers
[0:13]
and danish soldiers fighting.
[0:17]
Fighting for freedom and for
[0:18]
democracy.
[0:20]
Right now we have unwillingly
[0:23]
become the front for the same
[0:26]
fight for democracy, for
[0:28]
freedom, and for human rights.
[0:31]
We want democracy but we are not
[0:32]
respected.
[0:37]
Please, MR. PRESIDENT,
[0:39]
please
[0:40]
all americans, we would love you
[0:40]
to act.
[0:44]
We need you to act.
[0:44]
We need you to call all your
[0:47]
senators, all your politicians
[0:49]
come and tell them they need to
[0:49]
act.
[0:52]
They need to stop your
[0:52]
PRESIDENT.
[0:56]
This is not only a matter of
[0:57]
greenland, this is a matter of
[0:59]
the world order as we know it.
[1:01]
A matter of sovereignty and it
[1:05]
is a matter of the border.
[1:07]
Please, act.
[1:08]
Please, speak to all you know
[1:08]
about this.
[1:12]
Just to make sure you know,
[1:14]
greenland is protected by all
[1:17]
european countries now -- almost
[1:18]
-- and also denmark has troops.
[1:21]
This would not be just an attack
[1:23]
on greenland, this would also be
[1:26]
an attack on the nato alliance.
[1:29]
Wake up, america.
[1:31]
I know it is early your time,
[1:32]
wake up.
[1:35]
You need to act.
[1:38]
We can fight this fight together
[1:38]
.
[1:42]
Within the U.S., europe, and
[1:42]
also for greenland.
[1:45]
please support greenland and
[1:46]
follow our demonstration
[1:50]
campaign on
[1:51]
supportgreenland.Org.
[1:55]
Juan: could you talk about the
[1:55]
claim PRESIDENT Trump if he does
[1:58]
not act united states doesn'
[1:58]
t
[2:00]
acquire greenland or buy
[2:02]
greenland, that there are
[2:06]
threats from china and russia to
[2:06]
move in?
[2:11]
>>
[2:12]
well, this situation is very
[2:14]
bad.
[2:14]
We can'
[2:15]
t go back in time but we
[2:16]
can wake up now.
[2:19]
It is very important that the
[2:21]
american people all over the
[2:24]
U.S., they act now fre to
[2:25]
contact her politicians.
[2:27]
Contact your press.
[2:31]
Make sure to tell them you
[2:32]
support greenland not only
[2:32]
because of greenland, but
[2:35]
because greenland is now the
[2:36]
front for the fight for
[2:37]
democracy.
[2:41]
It is very important also to
[2:46]
understand this is not just
[2:46]
a
[2:47]
politcal or geopolitical fight.
[2:48]
This is a matter of trust
[2:50]
between the people.
[2:52]
We can trust our democracies.
[2:55]
We have an election in greenland
[2:58]
last year and we had -- we have
[3:00]
an election in denmark this
[3:01]
year.
[3:01]
It is very important to
[3:02]
understand there is a close
[3:03]
cooperation between the
[3:06]
greenlandic and danish leader.
[3:10]
American presidents try to
[3:11]
split
[3:12]
our two countries but it only
[3:14]
made us stand even closer
[3:14]
together.
[3:17]
So the leader of greenland
[3:19]
message is very clear that if we
[3:21]
have to choose, if greenland had
[3:24]
to choose between united states
[3:26]
or denmark, greenland will
[3:29]
choose denmark and europe.
[3:33]
So it is very important that you
[3:35]
wake up and you see this not
[3:36]
only as a fight for greenland,
[3:40]
but also for the trust.
[3:43]
We as greenlanders can have for
[3:45]
the americans and the nato
[3:46]
alliance.
[3:48]
So this is not only greenland
[3:52]
being attacked, this is
[3:54]
democracy, freedom, and the
[3:56]
world order as we know it that
[3:56]
is being attacked.
[3:59]
