British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated this Sunday to Donald Trump and other international leaders that he considers the threat of US tariffs on European countries that sent troops to Greenland “a mistake.”
Starmer stayed late for a series of calls with the US president, as well as his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen; the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, and the secretary general of NATO, Mark Rutte, according to a brief statement released by Downing Street.
In all his calls, Starmer “reiterated his position on Greenland. He said that security in the Arctic is a priority for all NATO allies to protect Euro-Atlantic interests and stated that applying tariffs to allies for promoting the collective security of NATO allies is a mistake,” Downing Street reports.
