Listen Later

Greenland, Denmark & America - a triangular relation that, per my guest, augurs benefits for Greenlanders.

If that's the case, then...

►What do Greenlanders think of Mr. Trump's ideas for their island?

►What do Greenland's indigenous peoples & environmentalists think of America?

►Why did Denmark change Greenland's status from colony to province?

►Can Greenland survive economically as an independent nation?

►What is it like to live in Greenland?

►How do Greenlanders travel in Greenland?

►Who are Greenlanders anyway?
