UK PM Condemns US Tariff Threats Over Greenland

The UK Prime Minister has rejected US demands to control Greenland and called threats of tariffs against allies in opposition to the move "completely wrong". 

Speaking to parliament on Wednesday, Keir Starmer reiterated the UK's position that the future of the arctic island is for the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone.
