British Prime Minister holds a press conference following announcement of potential U.S. tariffs regarding the dispute over Greenland. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will give a speech this morning after Donald Trump said he would impose tariffs on the UK and other countries that oppose his plan to buy Greenland.
Trump wants the "complete and total purchase" of the Danish territory, saying it's essential for US and global security.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is "concerned" about U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose increasing tariffs on several European countries until they accede to his demand to purchase and control Greenland.
"We're concerned about this escalation," Carney told reporters at a press conference in Doha, Qatar on Sunday morning. "We always will support sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries wherever their geographic location is."
"Decisions about the future of Greenland are for Greenland and Denmark to decide."
Trump said on social media that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland would face a 10 per cent tariff. The rate would rise to 25 per cent on June 1 if the U.S. does not reach a deal to buy the semiautonomous island. The countries named by Trump have backed Denmark, warning that the U.S. military seizure of a territory in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) could collapse the military alliance that Washington leads.
