00:00On Arctic Sovereignty, we stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark
00:05and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future.
00:09Great powers can afford for now to go it alone.
00:12They have the market size, the military capacity, and the leverage to dictate terms.
00:18Middle powers do not.
00:19But when we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness.
00:25We accept what's offered.
00:27We compete with each other to be the most accommodating.
00:31This is not sovereignty.
00:33It's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.
00:37It means naming reality.
00:39Stop invoking rules-based international order as though it still functions as advertised.
00:45Call it what it is.
00:46A system of intensifying great power rivalry
00:50where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion.
00:56It means acting consistently, applying the same standards to allies and rivals.
01:01Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.
01:04They should be grateful also, but they're not.
01:06I watched your prime minister yesterday.
01:08He wasn't so grateful.
01:10They should be grateful to us.
01:12Canada lives because of the United States.
01:16Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
01:19Thank you.
01:19Thank you.
