In this episode of The Language of Power, Paul Taylor, Senior Visiting Fellow at the EPC, dives into the escalating transatlantic confrontation over Greenland that is testing the unity of NATO and straining relations between the United States and its European allies.
Paul is joined by Professor Peter Fibiger Bang, Professor of History at the University of Copenhagen’s Saxo Institute, and Maria Martisiute, Policy Analyst in the EPC’s Europe in the World programme, former NATO and EU official, and leader of the EPC’s Northern European Platform.
Together, they unpack what lies behind Washington’s demands for “complete and total control” over Greenland, assess Europe’s strategic options, and explore how this crisis could reshape Arctic security, transatlantic relations, and the broader geopolitical landscape.
