Continued US threats towards the sovereignty of Greenland are increasing pressure on the British government to stand up to Trump’s aggressive ‘America first’ strategy. Yet again, Britain’s so-called ‘special relationship’ with the US is rightly being challenged, including Britain’s dependence on the US for its nuclear weapons systems. Following calls by political leaders like Zack Polanski, new polling has found that over half of the public are in favour of cutting military ties with the Trump administration by shutting down US bases in Britain if the US invades Greenland.
CND has long called for these NATO bases to be shut down as they are integral to Washington’s global nuclear infrastructure and war machine. RAF Lakenheath now hosts US B61-12 nuclear bombs and nuclear-capable F-35As. RAF Fairford hosts US spy drones and nuclear-capable B2 bombers. RAF Mildenhall has been a vital stopping off point for US arms on their way to fuel Israel’s genocide in Gaza, while RAF Croughton and RAF Menwith Hill are key spy and missile defence hubs.
Starmer’s decision to buy US nuclear-capable fighter jets only ties Britain all the more closely to Trump’s reckless leadership. In our upcoming webinar, ‘Stopping Trump’s global war and new nuclear dangers,’ we will be discussing how Britain’s nuclear expansion fits into Trump’s war drive and how we can build the mass movement against it.
