19:49Now PlayingCould the USA really seize Greenland? And just as importantly, why does it want to?
President Trump has sent shivers through the NATO alliance by doubling down on his threat to seize the island.
The White House is also refusing to rule out military action as part of its ambitions to annex the autonomous Danish territory – and recent events in Venezuela suggest such a threat should be taken seriously.
Why is the American president interested in Greenland? What would an attack on a fellow NATO member mean for the alliance? And how do Greenlanders themselves feel about all this?
Niall is joined by Sky’s international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn from the country’s capital, Nuuk.
Producer: Tom Gillespie
