Could Donald Trump ever attack the UK?

Metro asked Ian Bond, the deputy director of a London-based European Union think-tank, whether the UK has anything to worry about. Bond, of the Centre for European Reform, said: ‘It’s almost inconceivable that even a president as erratic as Trump would attack the UK.

‘Not least since he has golf courses here and also seems to have an abiding admiration for the Royal Family.’ ‘But that doesn’t mean that we are safe,’ Bond warned.

For one, Trump’s ‘constant flirtation with Vladimir Putin’, having hosted the Russian president last year, is ‘putting European security at risk’, he said.

Trump’s quest for Greenland, meanwhile, is putting the future of NATO on the line.

Bond said: ‘If Trump invades Greenland, setting off the collapse of NATO, the UK would lose its most important alliance and the mutual defence guarantee that goes with it.’
