The Greenland gamble: who won, who lost, and who gambles?
from In Focus by The Hindu · host The Hindu
Last week proved to be a whirlwind for Americans and Europeans and for those observing events around the world. The week began with Trump’s tariff threat against eight European countries that opposed his claims of U.S. control over Greenland. It then escalated with the EU mulling over a trade bazooka and Trump doubling down on claims over Greenland. He even shared a post on Truthsocial showing Greenland as a part of the U.S. And then at Davos, Trump emphasised the importance of Greenland again to the U.S. But the week ended with Trump discarding his tariff threats, though Greenland is still in the cards. Guest: Mr. D Raghunandan, who is with the Delhi Science Forum and the All India People's Science Network. Host: Nitika Francis Edited by Jude Weston Learn more about your ad choices.
