In this special episode of the Reuters World News podcast, we visit Greenland – the Arctic island that usually flies under the radar. But since U.S. President Donald Trump recently revived his desire to buy, or take, the autonomous Danish territory, Greenland is taking center stage. His interest and growing Inuit pride have led some locals to view an upcoming vote as a historic chance to free Greenland from Danish influence. We talk to Denmark Senior Correspondent Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen and White House Reporter Trevor Hunnicutt about Greenland’s strategic importance militarily and economically. Plus, as Greenlanders head to the polls, we take a look at the election that needs to thread a needle between Copenhagen and Washington DC. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here.
