"In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump said that following a very productive meeting with Rutte, he had formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. Trump added that, under this deal, he would not impose tariffs on the eight European countries that have opposed his attempt to acquire Greenland. He added that additional discussions are being held about The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland."
"He added that additional discussions are being held about The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. The Golden Dome is Washington's proposed multilayered missile defence programme, which is designed to counter aerial threats. Trump announced the project in May 2025. Under it, the US will deploy missile interceptors in space to shield against ballistic and hypersonic threats. The project is set to be completed by the end of Trump's term in 2029."
President Donald Trump announced reaching a framework for a future deal on Greenland with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte after a Davos meeting. He withdrew plans to impose 10 percent tariffs on eight European countries that opposed the sale, which would have risen to 25 percent later in the year if no deal emerged. Denmark and Greenland maintain that Greenland is not for sale. Rutte said NATO countries would increase Arctic security under the agreement. Trump said the framework covers the entire Arctic Region, mentioned The Golden Dome missile-defence programme for Greenland, and promised further public updates as negotiations progress.
