Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has strongly criticized Donald Trump, labeling him an 'international gangster' and a 'bully' during a heated exchange in the British Parliament. The remarks were made in response to Trump's persistent efforts to purchase Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, and his subsequent threats to impose significant tariffs on European countries, including the UK. Trump has reportedly threatened a 10% tariff on goods from eight European nations, escalating to 25% by June 1, 2026, unless a deal for Greenland is reached. These developments, including responses from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European leaders, are widely reported across several news outlets on January 19-20, 2026. However, a significant factual discrepancy exists in these reports: they consistently refer to Donald Trump as the 'US President' in January 2026. As of current real-time information, Joe Biden is the sitting President of the United States, and Donald Trump's presidency concluded in January 2021. While the specific quotes from Ed Davey and the details of Trump's proposed tariffs are corroborated, the foundational premise of Trump being the current US leader at this time is incorrect, rendering the overall framing of these news stories misleading. Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly asserted that the island is not for sale, with Greenland's Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen urging Trump to cease his 'fantasies about annexation'. European leaders are reportedly considering a unified response, including the potential use of anti-coercion trade instruments.
