Lee Anderson urges Starmer engage Farage over Greenland

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson met with Democratic Party leader Keir Starmer on 21 January 2026 to urge him to involve former UKIP figure Nigel Farage. Anderson warned that Donald Trump has escalated tensions over Greenland, threatening to assert US control of the Arctic territory if Europe blocks American access. He called for ‘childish politics’ and urged a direct outreach to Farage to neutralize the crisis. The call came after Trump’s surprise remarks on 20 January about Greenland’s status, hinting that the US will ‘remember’ any European interference. Anderson said Starmer’s swift engagement could prevent a brink‑tingling situation. The move reflects ongoing debates on Arctic sovereignty and trans‑Atlantic political cooperation.
