Donald Trump tariffs: Keir Starmer skewered over Greenland stance - 'No backbone!
UK Labour leader Keir faces backlash when Trump announces 10% tariff on UK goods over Greenland.
On 17 January 2026, GB News reported that U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10 percent tariff on UK and EU imports linked to Greenland disputes, set to take effect on 1 February 2026. The levy covers goods such as glass, poultry, wine and other agricultural products, citing cooling of trade negotiations. Labour leader Keir Starmer faced criticism for his perceived lack of resolve, as his comments defending the UK’s stance on Greenland were called a ‘no backbone’ stance. The tariffs have provoked backlash from UK MPs triển trade lobbies and the European Union, who warn the measures could damage UK‑US relations and harm key sectors like dairy and fishing. The move highlights growing tensions over Arctic trade policies.
