PM 'stands with' Denmark amid threats to Greenland

SIR Keir Starmer has said he “stands” with Denmark after Donald Trump threatened to annex Greenland.

- 

The Prime Minister added that his Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen was “right” to refuse the US president any claim to the territory.

Sir Keir’s signal of solidarity with European Nato ally Denmark comes as the US president suggested over the weekend that “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” Mr Trump told the Atlantic magazine, following the operation in Venezuela.

The Danish leader hit back, writing in a statement that “the US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom”, of which Greenland is one.
