Trump says Greenland deal framework reached
US President Donald Trump abruptly stepped back on Wednesday from threats to impose tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland, ruled out the use of force, and said a deal was in sight to end a dispute over the Danish territory that risked the deepest rupture in transatlantic relations in decades.
On a whirlwind trip to the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Trump backed down from weeks of rhetoric that shook the NATO alliance and risked a new global trade war.
Instead, Trump said, Western Arctic allies could forge a new deal that satisfies his desire for a "Golden Dome" missile‑defense system and access to critical minerals while blocking Russia and China's ambitions in the Arctic.
A NATO spokesperson said seven NATO allies in the Arctic would work together to ensure their collective security.
