Greenland, Trump, & the New Fight Over Arctic Power | Special Episode | Shane Smith Has Questions

Shane sits down in Denmark, immediately following today’s high-stakes US–Danish meetings, with former Danish foreign minister Per Stig Møller for an on-the-ground conversation about why Greenland has become one of the most sensitive geopolitical flashpoints right now. Coming off the press conference and escalating rhetoric between Washington and Copenhagen, Møller draws on his role negotiating a key defense treaty with the United States to explain what the agreements actually allow — and why the current moment has raised fresh alarms. They break down the US narrative around security gaps, rare earth minerals, and competition with Russia and China, questioning whether those claims hold up under scrutiny. The conversation looks at sovereignty, NATO obligations, Arctic militarization, and what it means when long-standing allies begin treating territory and people as leverage rather than partners.
