31 分钟You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 8 January 2025 on Monocle Radio.
Hello and a warm welcome to the Briefing broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Emma Nelson.
And coming up on today's program, well.
We need Greenland for national security purposes.
You look outside, you have China ships all over the place, you have Russian ships all over the place.
We're not letting that happen.
Donald Trump wants Greenland and he's prepared to use force.
We'll examine whether this is hot air or a real threat.
Also ahead in the next 30 minutes, why, after only a year, a poll's tiring of Prime Minister Donald Tursk.
Plus, before today's proliferation of luxury, we were the all seeing, all knowing, all encompassing international brand.
And anything that happened anywhere probably happened at a Hilton.
We hear how major luxury hotel brands mark themselves apart in today's crowded market.
All that right here on the Briefing with me, Emma Nelson.
Less than two weeks before his inauguration, the US President elect Donald Trump has repeated his desire to take control of both Greenland and the Panama Canal.
He even floated the possibility of using military force.
Meanwhile, his son Donald Trump Jr.
Was in Greenland on what he described as a personal day trip to talk to people.
Well, to find out what this is all about and get the world's reaction, I'm joined now by Ilgin Kaladag.
He's a journalist based in Sweden, based in Malmo.
