It went away for a bit, but this week, Greenland was very much back on Donald J.
Trump's agenda.
We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.
President Trump's desire to acquire Greenland is not new.
But ever since the US took major military action in Venezuela last weekend,
it has become clear to the world that Trump is willing to take extraordinary measures to get what he wants in his approach to foreign policy.
Even if that could mean violating international law.
After Venezuela to leaders around the world,
Trump's escalating rhetoric on Greenland seems like something to take pretty seriously.
From the BBC, I'm Tristan Redman in London.
And I'm Asma Khaled in Washington, DC.
And today on The Global Story, why does President Trump want Greenland?
And what are the consequences for the rest of the world if he gets his wish?
So today we're talking to Adrienne Murray.
She's a reporter covering Denmark, Greenland and the Nordic regions for the BBC.
So she's been following this story very closely and
Since Greenland is not a place that many of us will get the chance to visit,
we kick things off by asking her what Greenland is actually like.
Greenland is a vast island.
It's the world's largest 2 million kilometres in size and covered by this enormous ice cap.
