Keir Starmer joined European allies warning of a 'dangerous downward spiral' in Nato today after Donald Trump threatened a trade war over Greenland.
A joint statement from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK said they stood 'firmly behind' the 'principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity'.
The president has shocked the military alliance by warning that opponents of an American takeover of the Danish territory will be hit with punitive tariffs from February 1.
In a bombshell post on his social media site, Mr Trump said levies will start at 10 per cent - and potentially rise to 25 per cent if they have not capitulated by June.
But in a joint response this afternoon, the European powers said: 'As members of Nato, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest. The pre-coordinated Danish exercise Arctic Endurance conducted with Allies, responds to this necessity. It poses no threat to anyone.
'We stand in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Denmark and the people of Greenland. Building on the process begun last week, we stand ready to engage in a dialogue based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that we stand firmly behind.
'Tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We will continue to stand united and coordinated in our response. We are committed to upholding our sovereignty.'
Mr Trump's intervention has sparked fresh fears he is intent on ripping apart the Western pact that has maintained world peace for the past eight decades.
MPs also joined the backlash, with calls for the mooted trip by King Charles to Washington in the Spring to be cancelled. 'The civilised world can deal with Trump no longer. He is a gangster pirate,' senior Tory Simon Hoare said.

You can support Globalism, or you can support your own country first. If you believe in patriotism, you are a gangster pirate. Which is pretty cool.
The World has gone Insane
“I, for one, welcome our new Overlords.”
but once all the money is gone, muslims don’t work they’re all on welfare, what will they do kill everyone ?
All leftist European idiots really want to fight Trump.
Damn fools. Yeah fight the United States over Greenland. That’s really smart.
This is the first time I want to tell Europe to go to hell.
The UK, including Ireland & Scotland, has fallen to the islamic satan worshippers.
Fake, AI generated.
Fake. AI.
That’s outrageous. What’s this world coming to?
Was it? Do you think this was AI?
How can you tell? Britain has certainly been cruising in that direction of complete surrender.
Would not be too hard to believe.
Any brave Naysayer on the sidelines would quickly and aggressively be arrested. That is England of today, unfortunately.
Sad but true.
I don’t like the way Trump has handled the Greenland issue, but the Europeans have not put forth one finger of trying to understand its importance to their own safety.
Trump may be becoming unhinged and senile. Perhaps time for Vance or Rubio to take over as POTUS?
Starmer (and Macron) -— almost always on the wrong side -— (and they really need to be investigated for being part of the Ruling Elite SELLOUT of their countries)
