"The UK and the US are close allies and close partners. That relationship matters profoundly, not just to our security but to the prosperity and the stability that people here depend upon. Under President Trump, as under previous presidents, we are determined to keep that relationship strong, constructive and focused on results."
"Mature alliances are not about pretending differences don't exist. They are about addressing them directly, respectfully and with a focus on results. On Greenland, the right way to approach an issue of this seriousness is through calm discussion between allies."
"A partnership does not mean abandoning principle. That is why it's important to be clear about who we stand with, what we stand for, and where our interests lie. This is a moment for the whole country to pull together, so I warmly welcome the support we've had with regards to Greenland and the proposed tariffs from the Leader of the Opposition ( Kemi Badenoch). I thank her for her support."
Keir Starmer delivered an emergency televised address in response to President Trump’s threats to impose a 10% tariff on European and UK exports from 1 February and reported threats related to Greenland. Starmer affirmed the close UK–US partnership and its importance for security, prosperity and stability, and committed to keeping the relationship strong, constructive and focused on results. Starmer urged calm, recommended direct and respectful discussion between allies over Greenland, welcomed cross-party support including from Kemi Badenoch, rejected performative reactions, and stated that Britain will not need to choose between the US and Europe while defending principle and national interests.
