Keir Starmer says Trump’s threat to impose tariffs over Greenland ‘completely wrong’

Prime minister and opposition politicians condemn threat to impose 10% tariff unless deal reached to buy the Arctic island

Keir Starmer has said Donald Trump’s decision to impose 10% tariffs on the UK and seven other European countries over Greenland was “completely wrong”.

The US president said the levies would apply from 1 February to Nato members – including the UK, France and Germany – who have deployed troops to the arctic island in response to growing uncertainty over its future.
