[00:00:00] Speaker 1: This is a screenshot of a private message sent by the president of France about Greenland and posted online by Donald Trump. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland, says President Macron, in a message that was then posted to Truth Social by President Trump, even as tensions grow around Greenland ahead of a series of meetings at the World Economic Forum in Davos. A source close to the French president has confirmed to CNN that the message is real. In it, the French president says that he and President Trump are aligned on Syria and Iran, but questions the new American position on Greenland. President Trump also shared screenshots of a number of other conversations with world leaders. Now, CNN has not been able to verify the authenticity of those messages, but President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Greenland is necessary not just to American, but to world security, a language that has been drawing serious pushback from European leaders.
