It would have been unthinkable just a short time ago but, as our coverage makes clear today, there are genuine fears American forces could invade an ally in Greenland.
Martha Kelner and James Matthews, our US correspondents, answer a question from a viewer called Andrew in the latest episode of the Trump100 podcast.
He asked if Britain would defend the Falklands if Trump had plans to take the islands.
Matthews replies that no one is suggesting the islands in the South Atlantic are on Trump’s wanted list yet – but Argentina certainly does want them, just as it did in 1982 when a war was fought after an Argentine force invaded.
“Of course we do still have this special relationship but Trump’s got a pretty special relationship with Argentina’s president, Javier Milei – the guy he was on stage with, with a chainsaw,” Matthews adds.
Trump has financial investments in Milei and Argentina, Matthews explains – so who knows if the US position on the Falklands could change?
But he acknowledges it is easy to get carried away and no one should be expecting the US to make a dramatic shift in this area.
That said, there would certainly be a doubt over US support for the UK, should Argentina invade the islands it calls the Las Malvinas again.
Kelner adds the fact the topic is even being discussed shows just how seismic a shift there has been.
