Warn pet awkwardly in province (7)
I believe the answer is:
antwerp
'province' is the definition.
(Dutch province)
'warn pet awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'warn'+'pet'='warnpet'
'warnpet' is an anagram of 'ANTWERP'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for antwerp that I've seen before include "North Belgian port" , "Busy Belgian port" , "Wrap net around this Belgian city" , "harbour" , "foreign city" .)
