British Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs against allies regarding Greenland, stating that it is "completely wrong" and that a trade war benefits no one. Starmer's comments followed Trump's repeated assertions that the U.S. needs control of Greenland for national security reasons. Trump has claimed that China and Russia also desire Greenland, which possesses significant untapped reserves of critical minerals, and has not ruled out military action. Trump announced on Saturday that he would impose a 10% import tax on goods from eight European nations, including the U.K., starting in February.
