British foreign secretary David Lammy says US President Donald Trump’s remarks about Greenland “feel rhetorical not real.” Lammy makes the comment after Trump ends a summit in Ankara, Turkey, describing the US leader as striking a more conciliatory tone at the close of the meeting. The Belfast Telegraph and London Evening Standard both report Lammy’s assessment, with no additional differing details included in the material provided. Across the accounts, Lammy’s position is that the language used about Greenland should not be taken as indicating immediate action, suggesting he expects no concrete change in policy. The reports also present Lammy’s comment as linked to Trump’s overall approach at the summit’s conclusion, where he is characterized as using less confrontational rhetoric than earlier in the process. Both sources therefore converge on the same core point: Lammy doubts that the Greenland-related threats amount to a realistic, imminent plan and views them as more likely rhetorical in nature.
