"Kernen asked Trump if it was a deal to own Greenland or something else. It's a little bit complex, Trump told him, but we'll explain it down the line. He then complimented Rutte for being a strong leader and said he assumed the secretary general had discussed the deal with Denmark. The Secretary General of NATO and I and some other people were talking, and it's a kind of a deal that I wanted to be able to make, Trump said."
"The commander-in-chief confirmed the tariffs he threatened to slap eight European nations with would not go into effect on February 1, now that a deal is in the works. His interview with Kernen comes after a busy day for Trump in Davos, Switzerland, where he gave a speech at the World Economic Forum a few hours earlier. Trump reiterated his desire to acquire Greenland during the speech, but said he did not plan on using the U.S. military to take it."
President Donald Trump reported reaching a complex, long-term agreement framework with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte concerning Greenland and broader Arctic cooperation. He described the arrangement as forever and emphasized strong security elements. Trump said the deal would be beneficial for both the United States and Greenland and that further details would be explained later. He indicated that tariffs threatened against eight European countries would be postponed now that a deal is in development. Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland at the World Economic Forum in Davos but said he would not use military force to obtain it.
