11:15Now PlayingThe Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and Donald Trump ally Mike Johnson has told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that he doesn’t “foresee military intervention in Greenland” by America.
He told the BBC “diplomatic channels are the way to go” when asked about how President Trump planned to acquire Greenland without military action and said his appointment of a Greenland envoy demonstrated that this intention.
In an interview recorded before President Trump announced tariffs on the UK and other European countries in response to the Greenland row, Mr Johnson said Donald Trump was “playing chess” in his handling of the issue but that he hadn’t discussed it specifically with the president.
