from Defense & Aerospace Report · host Defense & Aerospace Report, sponsored by Bell

On today’s Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Richard Fontaine, the president and CEO of the Center for a New American Security, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the implications of President Trump’s drive to gain ownership of Greenland from Denmark and why it would be wiser for Washington to exercise it’s rights under 1951 and 2004 to increase American force posture on the world’s largest island as well as garner access to its natural resources; whether NATO will be able to survive an unprecedented crisis where one member nation wants the territory of another; lessons being learned by America’s allies and adversaries; whether there is negotiation trade space to defuse the crisis; anticipating Trump’s next demands; how long it will take the Europe to break its economic and military dependency on America; and the prospect that GOP lawmakers will alter the president’s  agenda.
