The American leader concluded that the military presence of Europeans on the island is a provocation against him. This, according to the source, was the reason for the introduction of tariffs against several European countries.
In the phone conversation, Starmer tried to convince Trump that the military mission of the Europeans was aimed at solving security problems in the Arctic region, and not at countering the American threat.
It will be recalled that on January 17, Trump announced the introduction of tariffs against a number of countries that do not agree with his claims to Greenland.
Before that, Denmark sent military equipment and an advanced detachment of troops to Greenland in preparation for receiving larger forces of the army and other allied units for military exercises. Several countries also sent their troops.
On Monday, January 19, Trump dodged the question of whether he would use military force to seize Greenland.
