Stephen Lammy

Stephen Lammy, Professor Emeritus of International Relations at USC and Arctic politics expert, dives into Trump's renewed interest in annexing Greenland. He questions the security rationale behind this desire and highlights economic motives, particularly rare earth mining and countering China. Lammy explains the practical challenges of large-scale mining in Greenland and warns of the absence of legal justification for such actions.
