Speaking in Britain's parliament before Trump took to the stage at Davos, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would not yield to pressure by the U.S. president on his opposition to his demands to acquire Greenland, APA reports citing Reuters.
"I will not yield, Britain will not yield, on our principles and values about the future of Greenland under threats of tariffs, and that is my clear position," Starmer said.
He also said the Danish prime minister would visit London on Thursday.
In response to questions from British lawmakers urging Starmer to go further in standing against Trump, Starmer said it was still important to work with the U.S. on issues such as Ukraine.
"That does not mean we agree with the U.S. on everything," he said. "But it is foolhardy to think that we should rip up our relationship with the U.S."
