Sir Keir Starmer could send British troops to Greenland as part of a NATO mission to help guard the Arctic for Donald Trump, it has emerged.
The Prime Minister is said to share the US President's view that action must be taken to deter Russia's threat in the polar region.
Mr Trump has recently ramped up warnings he could seize Greenland for security reasons, and has not ruled out using American military force to do so.
But, in a phone call with the US President on Wednesday evening, Sir Keir told Mr Trump the future of the island should only be a matter for Greenlanders and Denmark.
The conversation was followed by a flurry of diplomatic activity, with the PM going on to hold calls with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen and NATO boss Mark Rutte.
Sir Keir held a further call with Mr Trump on Thursday, before speaking with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday.
Downing Street said the leaders discussed how NATO needed to 'step up' in the High North, which includes Greenland, to deter Russia.
According to The Telegraph, military chiefs are now drawing up plans for a possible NATO mission on the island - an autonomous territory of NATO member Denmark.
British officials are said to have met with counterparts from countries including Germany and France in recent days to start the preparations.
A Government source told the newspaper: 'We share President Trump's view – Russia's growing aggression in the High North must be deterred, and Euro-Atlantic security strengthened.
'NATO discussions on reinforcing security in the region continue, and we would never get ahead of those.
'But the UK is working with NATO allies to drive efforts to bolster Arctic deterrence and defence.

A few Brits are not going to bring what is needed to establish the type of base that would be used to protect the CONUS.
While I am more for negotiation about Greenland, I understand the need for it.
“’But the UK is working with NATO allies to drive efforts to bolster Arctic deterrence and defence.”
With what army/ Or Navy? this is more big talking and BS from the pipsqueak NATO moochers.
Coalition of the willing? /eyesroll
There are approximately 56,000 Greenlanders who would gladly accept a cash buyout and/or mineral stocks to fly the US flag.
Pause immigration to preserve the newly minted 58th state’s culture and get to work developing the mineral and energy industries to the north.
Cut Demark in on the profits.
This could be done in days.
As part of a NATO mission. What does NATO member Denmark have to say about this?
Rock Hudson will take car of it. He has prior experience.
Never mind, he’s dead.
We have been concerned about the northern approaches for a very long time and rightly so.
thanks but he’d be of much better service to his country and the west by starting to defend against the Islamicist takeover of once-Great Britain, first
these FA idiots can’t help themselves

What does soccer have to do with this?
Here’s a nice picture of the Danish navy sortieing to practice defending Greenland from the Russians.

Requires X account, which you should have.
That's nice. But Trump is looking long-term.
2050? 2100?
A couple of quotes of caution about Britain;
“…Perfidious Albion…”, French poet Augustin Ximenes , circa 1793,
And paraphrasing;
“… Britain does not have permanent allies, only permanent interests …”, Lord Palmerston, British Prime Minister, mid 19th century, circa 1848.
Not to mention the British Foreign Office, riddled with communists during the Cold War, and Klaus Fuchs, who treasonously gave Stalin and the Soviet Union atomic secrets from the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in the 1940s because he didn’t think the US could be trusted as the lone Atomic Power in the world.
In short, Britain is absolutely untrustworthy, and could turn on the US in a heartbeat, without warning.
The only safe way forward is for the US to take permanent control, and keep our fingers crossed that America never elects another idiot like Carter, who sold the Panama Canal for one dollar, and now we have to fight to get it back.
President Trump is a superhero, undoing decades of negligence by left wing idiots who actually hate their own country and its people.
“...newly minted 58th state’s ...”
And give them a seat in congress and two senators? Never.
>> Rock Hudson will take care of it.
Is that the one where the Russians invade Siberia, David Soul mounts a defense, and a political officer messes everything up... and the bombs fly? Rock (that Rock, not “The” Rock) was President.
Kier Starmer sure has British troops everywhere!
This little twerp is so desperate to appear relevant. He has no idea how irrelevant he is. Sad little scumbag.
I remember that one, but I think the reference was definitely for “Ice Station Zebra”.
Trump should just “purchase” Denmark. Then the USA will get to keep Greenland and the Faroe Islands as well.
Afterwards, to get rid of the Danes, he can sell Denmark to Muslim Sweden or EuroTrash Germany. /spit
