Watch: ARTE Europe Weekly: Trump wants Greenland: What can Europe do?

It is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark

"We need Greenland"; Donald Trump is crystal clear about what he wants.

Since his return to the White House for his second term, the American has been obsessed with the semi-autonomous Arctic territory. 

But why does he want it? And what can the Europeans do to prevent this from happening?

This interview is produced by ARTE and distributed in nine languages thanks to the Emove Hub project. Participating media outlets include EL PAÍS (Spain), Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland), Internazionale (Italy), Ir (Latvia), Kathimerini (Greece), Le Soir (Belgium) and Telex (Hungary).
