AI Summary

medium article 3 min

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy affirmed the UK's "non-negotiable" stance that the future of Greenland is for Greenland and Denmark to decide, following Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on nations opposing his plan to potentially purchase Greenland. Trump announced 10% tariffs, potentially rising to 25% by June 1st, on several NATO countries, including the UK, who he claims have deployed troops to Greenland amid uncertainty about its future. The tariffs are scheduled to begin on February 1st. Keir Starmer and the UK government condemned Trump's tariffs as "completely wrong." Nandy declined to specify how the UK would respond to the tariffs, emphasizing the importance of continued dialogue with the US despite differing views on Greenland.
