UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned US President Donald Trump’s plan to impose higher tariffs on countries opposing Washington’s attempt to take control of Greenland. Starmer said the move was “completely wrong” and emphasized that only the people of Greenland and Denmark have the right to decide the island’s future. The UK is among the nations targeted by Trump’s proposed tariffs.
Trump announced that countries opposing his Greenland plan—including the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Finland—would face an additional 10 percent tariff starting February 1, which could rise to 25 percent by June 1. The White House stated that the United States needs Greenland for its own and global security, and Trump has not ruled out the use of military force.
Starmer ruled out retaliatory tariffs, saying no side wants a trade war. In a separate letter to Norway’s prime minister, Trump wrote that since he had not received a Nobel Prize, he felt no obligation to act purely for peace.
