A video round up of this week’s magazine, highlighting our cover story, features and Business Leader. 

COOL RECEPTION: US President Donald Trump has been unable to keep his story straight as to why America should be allowed to acquire Greenland. Is it for security reasons? Is it for the vast territory’s untapped critical minerals? Is he acting on a grievance related to not being awarded the 2025 Peace Prize? Or is he seeking to distract from political pressures at home? Whatever the real reason, Trump’s aggressive posture has received a reception from key allies that is cooler than a winter’s day on the Arctic island. Photograph: Bloomberg

BRATTISH: Active moves by President Donald Trump to exclude South Africa from the G20 gathering in Miami might not rank at the top of recent outrageous actions by the US leader, including his vulgar gesture to an auto worker who heckled him during a plant visit. However, viewed alongside his brattish letter to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, blaming Norway for his failure to receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, it is suggestive of yet more brutishness to come, especially if such bullying continues to be tolerated.
