A march in Greenland after Trump's threat

The Prime Minister said the dispute over the mineral rich territory, which Mr Trump wants to take over because of its strategic Arctic location, should be resolved through “calm discussion between allies’ rather than military action or a trade war.

He insisted Mr Trump was not genuinely serious about the prospect of using military force to annex the island, and signalled Britain would not engage in a trade war over the dispute as this was “not the right way to resolve differences within an alliance”.
