'Calm discussion' required to avoid 'tariff war' over Greenland: UK PM Starmer

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told that “The use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong” on Monday at a hastily-arranged press conference.

Trump threatened to slap tariffs on Britain, Denmark -- of which Greenland is an autonomous territory -- and other European countries unless the Arctic island is ceded to him.  Starmer added that trade war serves no one’s interests. Furthermore, Starmer urged Trump in a call on Sunday to find a solution "rooted in partnership, facts and mutual respect".
