They examine how the proposal took shape inside Trump’s orbit, why political and intelligence pressure campaigns may already be backfiring, and what unilateral action—by force or fiat—would mean for NATO and the future of the transatlantic alliance.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Read Shane’s reporting on Greenland with Isaac Stanley-Becker and Jonathan Lemire: https://www.theatlantic.com/national-security/2026/01/greenland-trump-venezuela-nato/685511/Read Shane’s other work at The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/shane-harris/Follow Shane on X and Bluesky:https://x.com/shaneharrishttps://bsky.app/profile/shaneharris.bsky.socialPlease share this episode using these links Audio: https://pod.fo/e/37aa41YouTube: https://youtu.be/E3Szp68dFh0Support Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: h…","meta_description":"Shane Harris joins Matt to discuss his latest reporting for The Atlantic on one of the most destabilizing ideas circulating inside the Trump administratio…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3604,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/secrets-and-spies-podcast-espionage-global-issues-current-affairs-609504/episodes/s10-ep27-trump-greenland-and-an-alliance-in-crisis-with-shane-harris/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/secrets-and-spies-podcast-espionage-global-issues-current-affairs-609504/s10-ep27-trump-greenland-and-an-alliance-in-crisis-with-shane-harris.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
