Greenlanders voted for a parliament on 11 March. This tiny nation living on the largest island in the world has been pushed into the global spotlight following Donald Trump's repeated comments that he wants to make the country a part of the United States. Greenland was a colony of Denmark for 300 years, currently has self-rule but is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark. In this episode I interview Vilborg Ása Guðjónsdóttir, an Icelandic expert in international affairs who was in Greenland to follow the elections. We speak about the results, talks to form a new government, the relationship with Denmark and of course Donald Trump. Last night, 13 March, the US President tried to enlist Mark Rutte the General Secretary of NATO to help him in his mission, during Rutte’s visit to the White House. Speaking to reporters Trump was confident that US would be able to annex Greenland.
