Our expert says the deal won't really give the US many more rights, but that US President Donald Trump wanted to prevent at all costs the tiny risk of Greenland turning towards China. He adds that for Trump voters, if you inflate the risk, people will talk about it and see you're acting. We spoke in Perspective to Mikaa Blugeon-Mered, Senior Researcher on Hydrogen and Arctic Affairs at the Canada Research Chair in Clean Hydrogen at the University of Québec Trois Rivières.
