LONDON — Britain is closing in on a long-coveted critical minerals partnership with Greenland, just months after President Donald Trump threatened to annex the island.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer could sign the partnership as soon as Wednesday or Thursday when he visits Denmark’s capital Copenhagen for the European Political Community summit.
