Donald Trump has vowed to slap several European nations - who are also NATO allies - with 10 per cent tariffs, if he is not allowed to buy the Arctic island. The UK is one of the eight in Mr Trump's line of fire. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned that a trade war is in no one's interest. Nick Harper and Will Denselow report.
