After a meeting in Davos with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, US President Donald Trump has backed off his tariff threats against Sweden and several other countries linked to Greenland.

Discussions in Germany have intensified over potentially boycotting the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, in response to President Donald Trump's repeated comments about annexing Greenland.

A recent survey indicates nearly half of Germans would support the boycott under those circumstances.
