Arctic Today publisher discusses Trump and Greenland in BBC interview

In an interview with BBC World News, Alice Rogoff, founder and publisher of Arctic Today, offered a reality check on Donald Trump’s renewed talk of acquiring Greenland. Speaking with BBC Europe editor Katya Adler, Rogoff unpacked what is actually at stake in the Arctic, from U.S. security interests to Greenland’s long, careful path toward independence. She noted that while Washington already maintains a military presence on the island, Greenland’s political status is neither fully sovereign nor simply subordinate, with autonomy that varies by issue and is shaped by complex, often misunderstood relationships with Denmark and the wider world.
