Trump wants to conquer Greenland. This is how Europe can stop him

President Trump’s talk of taking Greenland isn’t a joke, that
much is now clear. His ambition to "conquer" the autonomous
Danish territory is a direct challenge to the EU, Nato, and the
post-Cold War security order - so what should Europe do?


Roland chats to Rachel Ellehuus, head of British defence and
security think tank RUSI and formerly a senior US official in
Nato and the Pentagon. She explains why Greenland matters far
more than most people realise: from missile defence and Arctic
dominance to critical minerals and great-power competition. 


They also discuss why Trump’s threats should be taken seriously,
how Denmark and Greenland are responding behind the scenes, and
why this moment is critical for Europe if it wants to protect its
values and way of life.
