From the show
The Trump administration is signalling no retreat in its goal of acquiring Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, after the White House said the president wasn't ruling out the use of military force. Speaking to FRANCE 24, Mikaa Blugeon-Mered, an expert on hydrogen geopolitics and Greenland, says the US president's rhetoric is "decredibilising" the NATO alliance. What's more, he adds, "out of all the NATO allies, Denmark is the best of all."

From a military strategy point of view, Blugeon-Mered points out that Trump "doesn't need" to "annex Greenland", given an existing agreement with Denmark that would allow the US to expand its military presence on the island.
