This week, President Donald Trump renewed calls for America to take control of the Arctic territory of Greenland. On Wednesday, Denmark's foreign minister held talks in Washington with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but the meeting failed to resolve what Denmark described as a "fundamental disagreement." 

Now, NATO allies including Sweden, Norway and Germany have begun deploying military personnel to Greenland in a show of support for Denmark. On today’s podcast, we're breaking down what's happened this week, why Trump actually wants Greenland, and what the international response tells us about tensions within NATO.
