Europe is taking President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland more seriously after the US’s actions in Venezuela. But will intervention be a red line for Republicans in Congress?

This episode was produced by Dustin DeSoto and Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Andrea Lopez-Cruzado and Ariana Aspuru, engineered by Patrick Boyd and David Tatasciore, and hosted by Astead Herndon.
