President Trump says he will ‘100%’ carry out Greenland tariffs threat

Donald Trump has vowed to follow through on his threat to impose tariffs on European countries who oppose his demand to take control of Greenland. We hear from former US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel on whether his Republican Party colleagues in Congress are likely to support legislation curbing the President’s ability to spend money on any potential US military action to secure Greenland.

Also in the programme: The government will consult on whether social media should be banned for under-16s in the UK. But would such a measure actually make children safer online?

And as American country music legend Dolly Parton turns 80, we explore why her songs have lasted the test of time.
