""I said years ago that was never, ever going to happen,""
Donald Trump abandoned threats to use military force or impose 10% import taxes to take control of Greenland. The withdrawal followed UK and wider European diplomatic efforts, with Downing Street crediting serious behind-the-scenes diplomacy. David Lammy said Trump "responded to our concerns" and that European countries were "now back where we wanted to be, which is a negotiation, effectively." Trump indicated continued intent for the US to "play a bigger role" in Arctic regional security amid increased Russian activity. Sir Keir Starmer opposed yielding on Greenland’s right to self-determination, and Lammy said he never believed the US would annex Greenland by force.
