Greenland: Is Trump Planning a Post-NATO World?

from Global Politics with Leo

In today’s global politics update, I dive into one of the most unexpected - and potentially game-changing - news stories in international affairs: Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland. Why does the U.S. want it so badly? Is it really about trade routes, rare minerals, and military positioning - or is there a bigger strategy at play? In this episode, I explore the history of U.S.–Greenland relations, unpack the 1916 promises to Denmark, and examine how Trump’s approach to NATO, Russia, and the Monroe Doctrine may all be connected. Could Greenland be the key to a post-NATO future for the United States? Let’s separate fact from speculation - and look at the data. And yes, I talk about Canada here too. You might know me from social media and Substack as Leo Explains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
