"Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen welcomed US President Donald Trump's announcement that the US no longer plans to impose tariffs on European nations. Ramussen said the day ended better than it started, seeing it as a positive sign that Trump has ended the brief trade war over Greenland. Denmark's top diplomat said it was a good signal that Trump won't use force, but warned that the US president has "an ambition we can't accomodate.""
A framework for a Greenland agreement led the US to drop planned tariffs that were due on February 1. European institutions have reacted by freezing the implementation of a previously reached trade agreement that followed earlier tariff threats. Denmark welcomed the removal of immediate force or tariffs and described the development as a better end to the day, while cautioning that US ambitions regarding Greenland exceed what can be accommodated. Trump described the deal as delivering US national and international security goals. NATO leadership emphasized the need to protect the Arctic from Russian and Chinese influence.
