Keir Starmer slams Donald Trump's threat to slap tariffs on UK over Greenland: 'Completely wrong!'
UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer denounces Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on Britain until a deal is reached to purchase Greenland.
On 17 January 2026, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer publicly criticised U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned the United Kingdom of applying tariffs until a purchase agreement for Greenland is struck. Trump said the move would be pursued directly with the US administration. Starmer called the threat "completely wrong," arguing that the UK was not in the market to buy Greenland and that the tariff threat could damage UK–US relations and trade. The debate highlights tensions over Arctic sovereignty, trade policy and the geopolitical importance of Greenland’s strategic location.
