During an event with oil companies, he emphasized that acquiring Greenland is crucial for national security and that he is prepared to pursue this goal by any means necessary.
Despite speculation about potential UK support for US military action against Greenland, the UK's Defence Secretary has firmly stated that British bases will not be used to assist in any attack on the territory. He emphasized the importance of acting within legal boundaries and fulfilling treaty obligations within the Nato alliance.
