00:00Alliances endure because they're built on respect and partnership, not pressure. That

00:09is why I said the use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong. It is not the right way

00:18to resolve differences within an alliance. Nor is it helpful to frame efforts to strengthen

00:26Greenland security as a justification for economic pressure. Such measures hurt British

00:34workers, British businesses and the British economy. And that is why I've been so clear

00:42on this issue. A trade war is in no one's interest.
