00:03The president of the European Commission has announced a 200 million euros investment package for Greenland in a bid to
00:09deepen ties with the Danish Autonomous Territory coveted by U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:14During a two-day visit to the capital, Ursula von der Leyen presented the initiative called the EU-Greenland Partnership
00:22Package.
00:22It's 200 million euros of new investments for Greenland this year and next year. And this partnership package focuses mainly
00:32on three domains or strategic priorities. We call them the big C's, connectivity, clean energy, critical raw materials.
00:45Von der Leyen has backed Greenland's sovereignty and territorial integrity amid significant pressure exerted by the administration of U.S.
00:53President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to annex the territory.
00:58Greenland's future is for the people of Greenland and Denmark to decide, no one else. Territorial integrity, sovereignty, the inviolability
01:10of borders, these are fundamental principles of international law.
01:16Trump claimed earlier this year that Washington needed to control Greenland for national security reasons, but appeared to rule out
01:23annexing it by force.
