"Sir Keir Starmer has been urged by senior British military figures to be much tougher in resisting Donald Trump's threat to take over Greenland. Former defence secretary Sir Ben Wallace accused President Trump of attempting to thieve Greenland's mineral assets and said the prime minister must be less mealy-mouthed in condemning his actions. He was backed by former Nato deputy supreme allied commander General Sir Richard Shirreff, who said the British government ducks and weaves instead of taking a firm stance on defending Greenland."
"Sir Ben, Conservative defence secretary from 2019 to 2023, said it was vital for Britain to protect Greenland, which is part of Denmark, a Nato country. That meant standing up to President Trump, who like Putin thinks the Europeans are weak and does not respect mealy-mouthed statements. Sir Keir publicly backed the Danish prime minister after she demanded that the US stop threatening to take over the territory."
