About this episode
The U.N. General Assembly is in full swing over in New York, and the agenda is packed.
But perhaps the most pressing item will take place on the sidelines of the gathering, as Denmark, the U.S. and Greenland prepare to sign a security deal. What does the agreement mean for the EU’s big Arctic strategy? And will it be enough to ease months of tension between Donald Trump and the Danish territory? Hosts Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss.
Then, we’re heading back to Germany where the fallout from Sunday’s state elections is only getting worse for Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Questions are once again being raised about how long he can hang on.
And finally, we have some bad news for Belgium-dwellers who love online shopping.
Today we’re recording a special episode in front of an audience at our Brussels Playbook Live event. You can register to watch the entire event online here.
