[Solved] Key ring PGP sigature error preventing any updating in Arch

I recently ran an upgrade command (pacman -Syu), as I've run dozen's of times since I recently installed arch. For no reason, as far as I can tell, this upgrade has failed because all my pgp keys have become corrupted:

error: iana-etc: signature from "Jelle van der Waa <jelle@vdwaa.nl>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/iana-etc-20231228-1-any.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] 
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I get an error like this for every single package for which there is an upgrade possible.

I am using Arch, my Kernel is Linux 6.6.6-arch1-1 x86_64.

Any assistance in solving this would be appreciated.

1. Update archlinux-keyring first.
2. If you can't, or that doesn't fix it, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … l_the_keys
