Greenland: Proposed US Tariffs

Contribution

My Lords, I remind the House of my interests. I congratulate the Government on the line that they are taking. If the US were to ask nicely then it could have all the military bases and all the military personnel it would wish for. It chose to withdraw the personnel after the Cold War. My understanding is that China has negotiated contracts to extract minerals in Greenland. If the US were to barge in, in an aggressive way, what does the Minister think would happen to the Chinese rights to mine which have already been negotiated?
