UK Prime Minister Defends Denmark Against Trump

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, during which he expressed the UK's support for Denmark regarding Greenland. Starmer emphasized that the future of Greenland should not be determined by third parties, responding to Trump's previous statements about potentially purchasing the territory for strategic reasons. The two leaders also discussed the joint operation to intercept the oil tanker Marinera, as well as developments in the war in Ukraine and the US military operation in Venezuela. This conversation highlights the maintenance of diplomatic contact between the UK and the US despite potential disagreements on specific issues. The British government confirmed that the discussion about Greenland was an important part of the phone call, as the region has strategic significance. The UK's position is that Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland and any change should be made with the consent of Denmark and the people of Greenland. The phone conversation comes at a time of increased geopolitical tension, with the war in Ukraine and the situation in Venezuela posing significant challenges to the international community. The discussion of these issues between Starmer and Trump suggests an attempt to coordinate the two countries in addressing these challenges.
