Ed Davey: Starmer must express solidarity with Denmark over Trump threats on Greenland

4 Feb 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting ahead of Keir Starmer’s meeting with the Danish Prime Minister today, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey:

“Donald Trump’s attempts to bully Denmark over Greenland are totally unacceptable and must be called out for what they are.

“His attempts to threaten a NATO ally with military force are dangerous and wrong, and will just embolden the likes of Putin who want to see the West divided.

“I hope Keir Starmer will express the UK’s total solidarity in his meeting with the Danish Prime Minister today. The UK has a proud history of standing with our allies when their sovereignty is threatened, and we must do the same with Denmark now.”
