"Just hours after the president used his speech at the World Economic Forum to insist he wanted Greenland, including right, title and ownership, but backed away from his more bellicose threats of military intervention Trump took to social media to announce the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland after talks with Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte, and withdrew the threat of tariffs against eight European countries."
"Now, let's sit down and find out how we can address the American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting the red lines of the Kingdom of Denmark, he said. Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, also welcomed Trump's decision, but Rutte, who negotiated Wednesday's deal with Trump, issued a note of caution, saying there remained a lot of work to be done."
Trump announced a framework for a future deal to settle Greenland's status after weeks of escalating threats and withdrew tariff threats against eight European countries. He asserted he wanted Greenland, including right, title and ownership, but stepped back from threats of military intervention and later described the arrangement as a concept of a deal. Talks involved Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte and will focus on collective efforts to ensure Arctic security. Danish foreign minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen welcomed the reprieve and urged respect for Danish red lines, while some Danish MPs criticized Greenland's exclusion from negotiations.
