Mr Trump said the same would apply to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland. Early on Monday, Mr Trump said Denmark had failed to heed warnings to protect Greenland from the threat of Russia. !”Mr Trump appeared to take issue with a Danish-led military exercise conducted with allies in Greenland this week, saying the countries had “journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown”. They also warned that the US tariff threats “undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral” and said they would “stand united and co-ordinated” in their response. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said on Sunday that the UK needs to engage in “adult debate” with Mr Trump, suggesting she expected him to be open to negotiation.
