UK PM Starmer protests Trump’s ‘completely wrong’ Greenland tariffs

Key Highlights

• This could rise even further to 25 per cent until a deal over Greenland, an autonomous island in the Arctic, is reached.
• “Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes,” said Starmer, in a statement released by 10 Downing Street in London.
• “We have also made clear that Arctic Security matters for the whole of NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organisation] and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.
• “Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong.
• We will, of course, be pursuing this directly with the US administration,” he said.
