Suffice it to say we have a very good deal one the president has fully apprised of he understands, and is very supportive of it And it builds on what we've done there for a long time but one of the most important things that it does is it ensures that never do we have to worry about irrespective of the decision Greenland makes to if they one day go independent or stay continue to be a part of the Kingdom of Denmark it will never have to worry about it being a place where a potential adversary through commercial means can gain access to things that would be harmful to any of our countries. I think just from a strategic standpoint and where it is geographically which was what the president has always focused on when it comes to Greenland is national security It has always played a critical role in national security It is more pronounced now not just because of defenses against missiles but because of the And you now have a place that is not we now have an agreement in place that will exist in perpetuity that ensures not just the equities of North America meaning the United States and Canada but all of our partners in NATO as well And, so it's very solid in that regard and, we, we think it's a very positive deal and and one that I think gave us what the President was most interested in and that is protecting not just the national security of the United States but the security of our allies in NATO and in North America
