Sir Keir Starmer has defied Donald Trump over the US president’s expansionist plans to snatch Greenland from Denmark, publicly backing the Danish prime minister after she demanded that the US stop threatening to take over the territory.
Sir Keir made the unusual decision to stand against Mr Trump after the president dramatically threatened to annex Greenland. But the prime minister has refused to condemn the decision to remove Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, despite warnings from legal experts that his capture on Saturday was a breach of international law.
