Summary
Denmark’s Prime Minister is clearly worried enough about President Trump's threats over Greenland to embark on a tour of European capitals to drum up support. Is the UK able to offer clear and unequivocal support to Denmark - our NATO ally? We ask Secretary of State, Peter Kyle.
But we start with China’s AI model, DeepSeek RI. What is it? Why is it causing chaos to US markets? And is it a security risk?

| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:10.6 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:14.2 | I think Greenland will be worked out with us. I think we're going to have it. |
| 0:20.1 | And I think the people want to be with us, |
| 0:22.3 | as you know, there's 55,000 people there that want to be with us. I don't know really what |
| 0:27.1 | claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen |
| 0:32.7 | because that's for protection of the free world. That was President Trump on Air Force One, reiterating this week that he will get Greenland. |
| 0:43.5 | Well, today, the Danish Prime Minister is trying to drum up support in Europe from NATO allies. |

| 0:57.0 | Paris, Berlin and Brussels, because according to the Financial Times, Danish officials were genuinely |

| 1:37.6 | and it's their new model, R.I, which is being made suddenly at a fraction of the cost of most of the AI programs that America's making. |
| 1:46.9 | And we're trying to work out whether people are welcoming this or whether it's totally freaked everyone out. |
| 1:53.2 | Because essentially, NVIDIA stocks have massively crashed. |
| 1:56.8 | They've lost £600 billion since the weekend. |
| 2:00.7 | Yeah, this is sent shot waves through Wall Street, through Silicon Valley, and through |
