21:45Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump says he's going to tell world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week that the United States "has to have" Greenland.
But why has Greenland become so important in his thinking?
Trump says he will, "100%" follow through on his threats to impose tariffs if a deal over Greenland is not reached, and responded, "no comment" on Monday when asked whether he would use force to seize the island.
Even if Trump’s attempt to control Greenland goes no further, has trust between the United States and its Nato allies been damaged beyond repair?
Tristan Redman speaks to the BBC’s World News correspondent, Joe Inwood.
