PM call for calm amid US Greenland threat

SIR Keir Starmer has called for calm amid Donald Trump's threats of a trade war over Greenland - as he played down the prospect of a US invasion of the Arctic island.

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”.
