US President Donald Trump has been saying that the US would pull out of dozens of international and UN groups that, as he puts it, operate contrary to their interests.

It comes after a week where a Russian-flagged oil tanker was seized, and, of course, the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was captured.

In the days since, his frequent musings about other items on his foreign policy wish list have rung with renewed force, especially his repeated desire for the US to take over Greenland.

Joining Ciara to discuss is former United States Ambassador to Denmark, Carla Sands.
