In this episode of The Beacon Podcast, we speak to Danish defence expert and Associate Professor at the Danish Defence College, Peter Viggo Jacobsen about the extraordinary reports that Denmark sent blood packs and military supplies to Greenland amid fears of a potential US move under Donald Trump.
We explore:
Why Denmark took the threat seriously
The reaction inside the Danish military and civilian population
What this reveals about shifting trust within NATO
Greenland’s strategic importance in global security
Whether Trump’s pressure is reshaping European defence spending
Peter offers a rare insider perspective on a moment that many in Europe found “unreal” — preparing, even symbolically, for conflict with a long-standing ally.
