Starmer says he ‘will not yield’ over Greenland amid tariff threat

Sir Keir Starmer has said he “will not yield” over his support for Greenland amid Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs.

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions, Sir Keir said: “Threats of tariffs to pressurise allies are completely wrong.

“But I do want to be clear with the House: I will not yield, Britain will not yield on our principles and values about the future of Greenland under threats of tariffs.”

President Trump threatened the UK and other European nations with a 10% tariff on all baseline goods coming to the US over the weekend, unless a deal can be reached on Greenland.

He says he wants to purchase Greenland, a self-autonomous Danish territory, for national security reasons.
