The prime minister will take to the Downing Street lectern this morning, after another extraordinary weekend of diplomatic turmoil prompted by US President Donald Trump.
Sir Keir Starmer knows that people and businesses in the UK will expect him to respond, in front of the cameras, to the prospect of the UK and European allies being hammered by more US tariffs.
It is the latest twist in the row over Greenland, the autonomous Danish territory Trump wants to get his hands on.
Trump has said he will impose new taxes on eight US allies - Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK - on 1 February if they continue to oppose his proposed takeover of Greenland.
One long-standing observer of Western diplomacy told me: "This is extraordinary. We haven't seen anything like this in 80 years.
"This is pure political coercion against Nato allies over the attempted seizing of a chunk of territory - it's astonishing."
Expect Sir Keir to reiterate that he believes the imposition of tariffs would be a mistake, and make clear that is something he spelt out directly to Trump on the phone on Sunday.
Downing Street said Sir Keir spoke to the Danish prime minister, the president of the European Commission and the Nato secretary general on Sunday, before calling Trump.
Labour insiders, well aware this is another blast of turbulence they could frankly do without, argue the capacity of the UK to be central to these diplomatic conversations is down to their "reset" with the EU and their establishing a strong relationship, despite obvious political differences, with the Trump administration.
But when pressed on what might happen next, or what the next move from European allies might be, there is, from some, a shrug of the shoulders.

Davos worshiper and WEF tool Keir Starmer, like Canada’s Mark Carney were both installed to wait out President Trump. To hold the line along with Macron and other globalists until they can get the USA reined back in.
My guess is that they're going all in with Gavin Newsom in 2028.
Making enemies out of allies is not the best foreign policy.
After the Cold War ended, they've failed to maintain their militaries, they'll rather outsource the expense to American taxpayers.
And they're not even showing any appreciation.
It wasn't even that high when Biden was President.

We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us, so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them

When Putin turns his attention Westward who do you think the EU will be expecting to come to their rescue? The US should have long since left Europe to fend for themselves. They are worse than we are about electing idiots to lead them, and that’s saying something.
Poland is right next to Ukraine and they have a pretty big army.
Same deal with Finland.
Trump’s Greenland fixation is super stupid. What a retard!
It's a stupid policy, and embarrassing for the United States. Especially because these threats are going to end up coming to nothing. So we're going to have the president make a bunch of impotent threats, and the rest of the world. See that the threats are impotent.p> It's just dumb.
The UK is now (sadly) a second-rate power slipping into third-rate status. So what Prime Minister Starmer says about anything means nothing. Sort of like what the prime minister of Algeria might have to say about the issue.
But please don’t tell Sir Keir about that! He likes to pretend that he’s running a great empire.
Fun fact: The British Army now has more horses than tanks. How well would horses do in the Greenland climate? I don’t know about that.
I agree, and they failed to install that vile reprobate Tim Walz so they suffered a setback.
The issue with plastic Newsom is that he is becoming as ridiculous as Justin Trudeau who had to be replaced. They need someone just as evil with more mainstream credibility and the appearance at least of seriousness.
The only way Satan fails is by means of our prayers and fasting.
Will you still believe that 20 years from now if a hostile muslim majority Europe controls Greenland?
The UK is only powerful when they are are same terms with the US. Which used to be the case 20 years ago.
Twenty years from now if Greenland is controlled by a hostile muslim majority Europe, will you still say it was stupid policy?
Puppet Starmer has been talking to his mentor, Obummer:
https://www.businessinsider.com/keir-starmer-mentored-barack-obama-uk-election-new-prime-minister-2024-7?op=1
I bet he says if the President doesn’t stop talking about taking over Greenland, the UK will send all of its migrants to Greenland…….
It is breathtaking and sad to see how far and how fast Keir Starmer has taken the UK into the abyss.
