About this episode
US President Donald Trump has made a lot of announcements in the short time he’s been back in the White House - but one that has raised some big questions is his intention for the US to take over Greenland. It’s election time on the island - which is ruled by Denmark - and its future direction has never been more in focus. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll catch you up on all things Greenland, why it’s important to the US, and why so many people are watching its next moves closely.
