486. Does Maduro’s Capture Put Greenland at Risk?

Trump has announced that Venezuela will now be run by Washington as US forces have captured Nicolás Maduro and taken him to stand trial in New York.

But how will this administration work? Was this attack legal? And what are the broader geopolitical consequences of this move?
