00:00Can I switch topics? Denmark. Denmark announced yesterday that it was going to summon the U.S. ambassador over reports of the U.S. stepping up intelligence gathering espionage, as they put it, in Greenland.
00:13Do you have anything to say about the summons or more broadly about the issue of Greenland?
00:18This again, you've got to get another pencil out because it's going to wear it down. We do not comment on intelligence matters.
00:25How about the summons with the message to Denmark?
00:27We're not going to comment on intelligence matters or issues surrounding what the accusations are here.
00:34We're not going to do it. All right, you guys. Thank you very much.
00:38And for those of you who are moms, happy Mother's Day coming up. Thank you all very much.
00:43And next week, because I will be traveling with the secretary, I know I've said this before, but this time it's undeniable, will be Mr. Tommy Pickett on Tuesday and Thursday, my principal deputy.
00:54So, I was going to say be gentle, but don't be gentle.
01:00He's ready for you and he looks forward to getting you all what you need.
01:04Thank you all very much.
