And today we are announcing a series of transformative initiatives that will help unlock the full potential of this vast region. We're moving forward with an ambitious new plan backed by more than $40 billion of investments in Canada's North Antarctic. Investments to defend our sovereignty and to deter new threats. Investments to connect, build and transform Northern Antarctic communities. With this plan, we are taking control of our future. We will no longer rely on others to defend our Arctic security or to fuel our economy. We're taking full responsibility for defending our sovereignty. And we are unleashing a range of new economic opportunities for the over 140,000 Northerners who will benefit from stronger, more connected communities, more opportunities and a higher standard of living.

So then within the same 48 hour period after being in Yellowknife, Prime Minister Carney was in Norway where he was with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Storr, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and they held a news conference regarding bolstering their security relationships with each other. And of course, we know about Canada's. The numbers have been floated, whether it's 20 or $40 billion of investments to protect Canadians in their defense and also building jobs in Canada right now, as Donald Trump is out there, you know, just making a wreck of the entire global economy. So here was Prime Minister Carney in Norway. Standing next, Prime Minister Storr and German Chancellor Merz. Let's Play this first clip.

We are, as Canada, are taking control and responsibility for defense of our Arctic. More control and responsibility for defense of our Arctic. We will do that by very large investments, some of which we announced yesterday. And we will do that in partnership with our closest allies, very much, including Norway and Germany. And if I may, broaden Norway to include the Nordic countries and the Baltic countries to some degree, because there's an integration of the Nordic Baltic Gate through NATO. So we're broadening out those partnerships. That makes us stronger, as does taking more of the responsibility ourselves.

Then the three of them were asked about Greenland and Donald Trump's threats to invade Greenland. Here's what they all said about that. And you'll see there's. They're not mincing words here. They're not, you know, oh, Donald being Donald. No, they're like, we take this seriously. It's unacceptable here. Play this clip.

D (13:27)

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and it's up to the people in Greenland and in Denmark to trace the future for the people in Greenland. And any attempt to say that a country can take land from another country is unacceptable. It's not acceptable to international law, and especially something which should be unheard of among allies.

C (13:52)

And I will just fully associate myself with that. I've said it in the past. And I just add this because it goes to. What's happening here is that we are fully prepared individually and collectively, to defend the Arctic and the high north. What this operation is about, this training exercise, is to further build those capabilities against Russia, against any external threat. And, of course, that very much includes Denmark as one of the 14 countries that's participating. It's also the case with Arctic sentry within NATO and other frameworks. So we will deal with the security threats as partners, not as individuals. Thank you.

D (14:35)

Okay.

And then I think one of the most powerful moments of this press conference between Germany's leader, Canada's leader, and Norway's leader is when they talk about Ukraine and how it's so obvious that Russia is helping Iran. Russia's saying it out loud that they're helping Iran kill Americans, target U.S. interests. And Iran and the Middle east is just becoming essentially another stage of Russians invade Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As I said, you have a world at war right now at multiple fronts. And, you know, Donald Trump is continuing to attack Zelensky. He removed the oil sanctions on Russia, allowing Russia to make billions of dollars, which it take as its economy was getting crushed. And all of the G7 did not support Donald Trump doing that the six of the seven said, do not lift the sanctions against Russia. Then Donald Trump on his own lifted the sanctions against Russia and all of the G7 was like, dude, you just betrayed Ukraine and you betrayed us all. What the hell are you doing? But then also Russia's helping Iran, which is resulting in significant harm to the US and helping Iran outmaneuver the United States in the war. So this is like horrible for us and it's horrible for the United States. Like, what in the world are you doing, Donald? You don't understand that the alliance is Russia and China and North Korea and Iran. Like, you don't see that even when your former allies are trying to tell you in the G7, like, what's going on. I mean, it's so utterly pathetic. So here these three leaders of Canada, of Norway and Germany, they address Ukraine, the need to keep sanctions on Russia and the need to continue to support Ukraine. Watch this. Let's play it.

D (16:31)

We are entering the fifth year of a full scale aggression from Russia against Ukraine. And Ukraine has had to live with events beyond Ukraine taking attention away from this completely unacceptable situation they are in. So the first thing is that when there is dramatic things happening elsewhere, there is less attention on keeping pressure on Russia supporting Ukraine's defence. The three countries standing here are consistent in supporting Ukraine, even if the focus may be somewhere else. In fact, we have, from Norway and Germany, I think will be the major providers of support and also from Canada to Ukraine's ongoing efforts. And it's our view, and I speak for Norway now, and I think we share that view, that there needs to be more pressure on Russia to stop this an acceptable war. And from, from my perspective, I think that there should be no pressure on the energy side taken off Russia. It needs to be consistent and it needs to be felt from the Russian side so that they will come to the negotiation table, accept the ceasefire and accept the just and durable peace. Well, I, I fully agree with what Prime Minister Stuart just said. As you all know, we had a video conference with the G7 leaders on Wednesday and six out of seven were clearly the opinion that we should not release the sanctions against Russia. And we were a little bit surprised that we heard this morning that the American government decide differently. This is definitely not our view. We are sharing the six out of seven that this should be not the case because Russia is benefiting from that and we are seeing this into the right, different direction. We should put more pressure on Russia to bring this terrible war to an end as soon as possible. And that's the reason why we are having a different view on this decision, which was obviously taken in D.C. last night.

C (18:52)

Yes, I'll just reinforce that entirely. Agree. Canada's position is to maintain sanctions on on Russia, maintain sanctions, including on the shadow fleet which is moving this oil. You know, there has been very tight cooperation between Russia and Iran at great cost to the people of Ukraine and a great threat to peace and security in Europe. And this group, under the leadership of the two gentlemen to my right and a broader coalition, coalition of the willing, has stood up to that. Stood up to that in providing the framework for security guarantees. Stood up to that in terms of providing security support and training and materiel to Ukraine. All of us have contributed considerably to the defense of Ukraine. Stood up to it in terms of sanctions, which we stand by and will continue to do.
