Trump’s Greenland threat sparks the biggest transatlantic crisis in decades. After leaked text messages between President Trump and Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, we break down what could happen next.This episode walks through three realistic scenarios for Greenland, from a face-saving U.S. deal, to outright American control, to a possible path toward independence through a Compact of Free Association.We also cover Trump’s controversial “Board of Peace,” widely seen as a U.S.-led alternative to the United Nations. Around 60 countries have been invited to join - some have accepted, others have rejected it outright. We look at who’s in and who’s out.Finally, updates from Venezuela and Iran: the first U.S.-controlled sales of Venezuelan oil, where the money is going, and how dollars are now flowing back into the Venezuelan economy. Plus Iran’s ongoing internet blackout and the mounting human cost of the protests.Global Politics with Leo brings you the most important international news stories, with clear explanations and evidence-based analysis.
