Greenland—a vast, frozen island most Americans could barely place on a map—has suddenly found itself at the center of a rapidly intensifying global contest. In this episode, I’m joined by Heather A. Conley, an authority on Europe, NATO, and Arctic security, to discuss how Greenland became one of the most strategically important places on Earth.
Heather explained to me how the island’s location made it indispensable during World War II and the Cold War—and why that same geography has become increasingly important as melting ice opens new shipping lanes and exposes vast mineral wealth. What was once a remote outpost is now a linchpin in the emerging competition between the United States, China, and Russia.
