"The prime minister was very clear last night that we believe that this decision on tariffs is completely wrong. The future of Greenland is for the people of Greenland and the people of the kingdom of Denmark to determine and for them alone. We've been consistent about that. That is a view that we've expressed to our friends and allies in the American administration."
"In a post on his Truth Social site, Trump said the tariffs would apply from 1 February to Nato members including the UK, France and Germany who have deployed troops to the territory in response to growing uncertainty over its future. He said the tariffs would rise to 25% on 1 June if a deal to buy Greenland had not been reached."
The UK insists Greenland's future belongs to the people of Greenland and the kingdom of Denmark and will not accept a US plan to buy the territory. Culture secretary Lisa Nandy described the US decision to impose 10% tariffs on the UK and other nations as completely wrong. Former president Donald Trump said tariffs would start on 1 February and rise to 25% on 1 June if no Greenland purchase agreement is reached, targeting NATO members that have deployed troops there. The UK declined to specify retaliatory measures but will raise the matter with American counterparts and discuss security concerns.
