<p>Gideon speaks to Finland’s president about how to resolve the stand-off between Europe and the US over Greenland. Alexander Stubb describes the dispute as the "most difficult issue he has faced since taking office", arguing that discreet “back office” diplomacy, rather than public grandstanding, is the best way forward. He also touches on Ukraine, applauding the transatlantic alliance’s achievements so far but cautioning that the Greenland row is beginning to sap momentum from efforts to advance peace talks.. <em>Clips: DWS; BBC</em></p><br><p><strong>Free links to read more on this topic:</strong></p><p><a href="https://on.ft.com/4pO9KMH" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Greenland is ground zero for Arctic ‘Great Game’</a></p><p><a href="https://on.ft.com/45lqzHt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How the Greenland deployment of a few European troops enraged Donald Trump</a></p><p><a href="https://on.ft.com/4qypfcW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trump’s Arctic ambitions torch the most important US asset </a></p><p><a href="https://on.ft.com/4b8Gkp0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Russia knocks out power, heating and water to Ukraine’s freezing capital</a></p><br><p>Subscribe to The Rachman Review wherever you get your podcasts - please listen, rate and subscribe</p><p>Presented by Gideon Rachman.
