"Late Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social that the US and NATO had "formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region." The announcement came after talks with NATO head Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Later asked by a reporter about whether the deal fulfilled his desire for the United States to own Greenland, Trump said the matter was a "little bit complex.""
"Countries including Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands said Trump's decision to suspend tariffs on eight European nations was positive. The tariffs were scheduled to start on February 1, but Trump said he wouldn't be imposing the tariffs because of the new deal. Earlier at Davos, Trump said in a speech that he wouldn't use "excessive strength and force [to take control on Greenland] where we would be, frankly unstoppable.""

The announcement followed talks with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos. When asked whether the deal addressed U.S. acquisition of Greenland, Trump called the matter "a little bit complex," while Rutte said Denmark's sovereignty had not "come up." Several European countries welcomed Trump's suspension of planned tariffs on eight nations that were scheduled to begin February 1. Trump also ruled out using excessive force to take Greenland.
