Greenland: Could the US regret alienating its Nato allies?

from The Global Story · host BBC World Service

President Trump says he will, "100%" follow through on his threats to impose tariffs if a deal over Greenland is not reached, and responded "no comment" on Monday when asked whether he would use force to seize the island. Even if Trump’s attempt to control Greenland goes no further, has trust between the United States and its Nato allies been damaged beyond repair? We speak to the BBC’s world news correspondent, Joe Inwood. Producers: Cat Farnsworth and Lucy Pawle Mix: Travis Evans Executive producer: James Shield Senior news editor: China Collins Credits: Love Actually (2003) / Dir: Richard Curtis / Universal Pictures Photo: A town in Greenland.
