Greenland: Proposed US Tariffs

Contribution

My Lords, I will resist the temptation to pursue that last question, the Minister will be relieved to know. The Prime Minister is right to tell President Trump on this occasion that he is wrong. Imposing tariffs for pursuing the collective security of NATO and supporting the absolute right of self-determination for the people of Greenland is madness. It is the case that many Members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, also think that Trump is wrong on this. Will the Minister tell the House what steps we are taking to utilise our considerable diplomatic presence in Washington to build on that support in helping to persuade Trump to back down?
