UK PM Starmer tells Trump tariffs on allies over Greenland are ‘wrong’

-

Jan 18 (Reuters) - ​British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to U.S. President Donald ⁠Trump on Sunday after talking to the leaders of Denmark, ‍the EU and NATO, to say ​he believed "applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO ​allies is wrong".

A Downing Street spokesperson said Starmer held phone calls with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, European Commission ‌President Ursula von der Leyen and ‌NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He ​then spoke to Trump.

"In all his calls, the prime minister ‌reiterated his position on Greenland. He ⁠said that security in the ‌High North is ​a priority for all NATO allies in order to protect Euro-Atlantic ⁠interests," the ⁠spokesperson said.
