British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has described United States President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on American allies as "completely wrong", the BBC reports.
"Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and its future is a matter for Greenlanders and Danes. We have also made it clear that Arctic security is important to the whole of NATO and that allies should do more together to counter threats from Russia in different parts of the Arctic," Starmer's statement said.
He said that imposing tariffs on allies because they work on the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong.
"Of course, we will discuss this directly with the US administration," Starmer said.
Trump said earlier today that he would impose a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from eight European countries starting in February, due to opposition to Washington's treatment of Greenland.
He announced in a post on his social network Truth Social that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will face new tariffs, which will be increased to 25 percent from June 1 if an agreement is not reached on the US's "complete and complete purchase of Greenland."
