Could Russia and Trump push Iceland closer to the EU?

The World

About this episode

Iceland has long kept the EU at arm’s length. But Russia’s war in Ukraine and President Trump’s threats to take control of Greenland have prompted a rethink, with growing calls for Iceland to move closer to the bloc. Also, it’s been a tense week in Haiti after nearly 50 people were killed and over 50 more were kidnapped in a coordinated gang attack in a town outside the capital, Port-au-Prince. And, Gotham FC's openly gay star striker, Esther Gonzalez, has left the New York team and has now signed on to play for a Premier League team in Saudi Arabia, where her marriage is illegal. Plus, an update on Nepal victims and the continued search for the missing.
