President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States had agreed to a “framework of a future deal” regarding Greenland following his meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, but he did not provide specifics.
The president did not reveal details of the future agreement but said that as a result, the U.S. will be holding off on implementing the 10% tariffs on several European countries, as he recently threatened to do if they did not go along with his plan.

“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” he said on Truth Social. “This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”
Earlier in the day, during his address at the World Economic Forum, Trump ruled out using the military to conquer the frozen island of roughly 56,000 people.
