as posted by the channel

Why is Greenland suddenly at the center of a global power struggle? The U.S. President wants to buy — or even take — the world’s largest island. Greenland isn’t just icy wilderness: it’s rich in resources and strategically vital as the gateway to the Arctic. But the island belongs to Denmark, a NATO ally, and Europe is alarmed. Could this spark a transatlantic showdown? And while Washington pushes its Arctic ambitions, are Russia and China preparing their own moves? Join To the Point as we ask: Trump eyes the Arctic — will Europe defend Greenland?

Guests: Michael Paul, security expert and Arctic specialist, SWP - Anja Wehler-Schöck, International Editor of Berlin’s daily Tagesspiegel - Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard, senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, DIIS
