Starmer does nothing as Trump threatens trade war over Greenland

Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on the UK and seven other EU countries if they don’t give him what he wants: full US control of Greenland. In an emergency Downing Street press conference on Monday, Keir Starmer announced, well, not very much.

Camilla and Tim speak to The Telegraph’s Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator, David Blair, about the PM's attempt to keep the president and the EU happy, why Trump is really just after territory, and the future of the “special relationship”.

Later, Reform's newest MP, Andrew Rosindell, gives the inside story of how Nigel Farage convinced him to defect during a phone call on Saturday night.
