About this listen

President Donald Trump’s fixation on taking control of Greenland from NATO ally Denmark sent European leaders scrambling to prevent a confrontation.

In this episode, we connect the dots between today's rising Arctic tensions and Greenland's turbulent colonial history - by way of whale blubber and rare earth metals.
