On Saturday, US President Donald Trump said he would impose a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland in February, which would later increase to 25% and remain in effect until the United States signs a deal on the purchase of Greenland.
"The future of Greenland is for the people of Greenland and the people of the Kingdom of Denmark to determine, and for them alone. We have been consistent about that … Our position on Greenland is non-negotiable. We have made that very clear," Nandy told Sky News.
When asked if the UK would support the US purchase of Greenland, Nandy said that the government "would not support anything" that the people of Greenland and Denmark themselves do not support.
On Saturday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Trump's decision to introduce tariffs "completely wrong" and vowed to discuss the issue with the White House.
Trump has repeatedly said that Greenland should become part of the United States, citing its strategic importance for national security. Denmark's and Greenland's authorities have warned the US against seizing the island, stressing that they expect respect for their shared territorial integrity.
