About this episode
Can you buy... a country?
US President Donald Trump has made very clear his intention to acquire Greenland, despite it not being for sale.
So what happens next? And is this just another chapter in what's turning out to be a pretty chaotic diplomatic playbook from the Trump Administration?
And in headlines today, Days after bushfires raged across the state, flash flooding has hit Victoria’s Great Ocean Road; According to figures released by the federal government today, almost five million social media accounts have been deactivated or restricted since Australia's world-first age restrictions took effect on December 10; US President Donald Trump has threatened to use the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy military forces in Minnesota amid escalating tension over the deployment of federal ICE agents, which has become the focus of daily clashes; Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok will no longer be able to edit photos to portray real people in revealing clothing in places where that is illegal; Pamela Anderson has explained how she felt uncomfortable in the audience at the Golden Globes, because she was sitting near Seth Rogan who made a TV show about some of the worst times in her life without ever speaking to her about it
