Tom Bradby and Robert Peston discuss President Trump’s frenetic start to 2026, which has escalated fears of a military seizure of Nato territory Greenland.
As Robert explains, Trump’s obsession with the giant Danish island is not going to go away. Trump says it’s in the interest of ‘national security’ – but is there something else driving him? Something which Greenland has – and which China has – that the United States doesn’t?
All of this comes just days after Donald Trump attacked Venezuela and captured its president Nicolás Maduro – and just before the US seized a Venezuela-linked Russian oil tanker for violating US sanctions.
Tom and Robert also discuss the potential consequences of two NATO allies being caught in a military standoff, and what Sir Keir Starmer can do to resolve tensions between the US and Europe – tensions that threaten to put the whole world in a much more dangerous place.
