Donald Trump’s criticism of the Chagos Islands deal with Mauritius was explicitly intended to put pressure on the UK to weaken its position on the future of Greenland, Keir Starmer has said.
In his most explicit criticism of the US president so far, Starmer used prime minister’s questions to link Trump’s change of stance over a deal he had previously backed with the president’s much-stated intention to annex or buy Greenland.
After he was grilled by Kemi Badenoch over Trump’s words, Starmer accused the Conservative leader of, in effect, endorsing an attempt to make the UK cave in over Greenland.
