00:02We remember how Tony Blair ignored warnings from these benches and tied himself to an

00:11unpopular American president and a disastrous foreign policy, while close allies like Canada

00:18and France looked on in horror.

00:21With Donald Trump increasingly acting like a crime boss running a protection racket,

00:26he threatened to smash up our economy unless he gets his hands on Greenland.

00:31Will the Prime Minister avoid Blair's historic mistake, take our advice this time and join

00:38Prime Minister Carney and President Macron in standing up far more strongly to President

00:44Trump?

00:45Prime Minister.

00:46The Prime Minister clearly is not listening.

00:55the future of Greenland.
