BBC News Europe backs Denmark over President Trump’s threats to annex Greenland | Global News Podcast

The issue of Greenland’s future has resurfaced in the wake of the US military intervention in Venezuela.

President Donald Trump has again insisted that the US “needed” Greenland for security reasons and has refused to rule out the use of force to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

The BBC’s James Waterhouse has been following the story from Paris.
