  • 64: Why Trump Wants Greenland: Geopolitics, Power and What It Means for Business
    Jan 22 2026

    Western influence, Arctic security and the global implications of Donald Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland - and what it means for procurement, trade and supply chains.

    In this breaking-news special of The Procurement Show, Jonathan O’Brien and Paul explore why Donald Trump wants Greenland, the geopolitical and strategic importance of the Arctic, and what renewed US interest means for global power, NATO, international business and procurement teams.

    We unpack the history behind Trump’s Greenland proposal, the response from Denmark and Greenland, and why this issue extends far beyond politics into trade, supply chains, security and economic influence, areas that procurement leaders cannot afford to ignore.
