"Morgan said she understood there were "complexities and we need the United States" but added "if you don't hold on to international law you lose your moral compass". She told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast that "breaking the rule of law" was "unacceptable" and stood by her comment that as "bad" as the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was, "one country does not get to run another country"."
"Last week the US attacked Venezuela and captured Maduro, with Donald Trump vowing to "run the country" until there is a "proper" transition of power. Trump has repeatedly said he wants to take Greenland because it is vital to US security, with the White House confirming all options are on the table, including the use of force."
"Trump's demands have been rejected by the island's leaders and by Nato member Denmark, which controls Greenland as a semi-autonomous territory. Starmer has said only Greenland and Denmark should decide its future and Downing Street has said the prime minister "set out his position on Greenland" in a phone call on Wednesday night with Trump"."
Eluned Morgan urged Sir Keir Starmer to stand up to President Trump over the US operation in Venezuela and proposals regarding Greenland. She said upholding international law is essential and warned that abandoning it risks losing a moral compass. Morgan acknowledged the complexities of relying on the United States while insisting that breaking the rule of law is unacceptable. The US reportedly captured Nicolás Maduro and Trump vowed to "run the country" until a transition. Trump’s interest in Greenland prompted rejections from Greenlandic leaders and Denmark; Downing Street said the prime minister communicated his position to Trump.
