Hello and welcome to the programme.
This is News Hour from the BBC World Service coming to you live from London.
I'm Paul Henley.
Another day,
another stream of statements from the US President guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of European leaders on the receiving end.
As Donald Trump repeats his intention to take total control of Greenland from Denmark,
his social media stream includes an AI map in the Oval Office showing Venezuela and all of North America,

They have to have this done.
