Donald Trump has suggested a US takeover of Greenland could come sooner than many expected as he declared his administration wants to control the Danish territory “right now.”

Since launching a military intervention in Venezuela over the weekend, the president has doubled down on his calls for the US to control Greenland for “national security” purposes.

This has been met with widespread condemnation from the United States’ NATO allies, with Sir Keir Starmer telling LBC he “stands with Greenland and Denmark.”

But, speaking on Monday evening, President Trump suggested his latest comments are more than just posturing.

"We need Greenland for national security, and that includes Europe," President Trump said.

Iain Dale is joined by a guest panel to discuss what happens next if Trump takes Greenland.
