Sir Keir Starmer will hold an emergency press conference on Monday over the Greenland crisis.

Donald Trump has threatened to slap tariffs on the UK and other European allies until a deal is reached for the US to buy the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

But in a bombshell statement, Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland warned that "tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations".
