At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump announced a framework agreement on Greenland with NATO, suspending planned tariffs on European nations and backing off threats of force. The deal emphasizes Arctic security and aims to counter influences from China and Russia, while Trump criticized U.S. allies like Canada for lacking gratitude toward American defense support. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen noted progress in discussions on regional security.
Danish and Greenlandic officials met with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday, but emerged with a fundamental disagreement over President Donald Trump's push to acquire Greenland. The meeting was described as frank and constructive, yet Denmark reaffirmed its commitment to Greenland's territorial integrity and self-determination. Discussions are set to continue amid heightened Arctic tensions.
