President Trump announced he has a “framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” and will not impose tariffs on Europe like he threatened to do.
“We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” he wrote on Truth Social after his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st,” he added.
It is a major breakthrough on the most contentious issue facing Trump and Europe. No immediate details on the framework were available.
Trump has been vocal in his desire to own the island in the North Atlantic and Denmark has been just as vocal about keeping it in their possession.
As European leaders pushed back on Trump’s desire to own Greenland, the president got tough.
Earlier this week he threatened a 10% tariff “on any and all goods” sent from the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland to the US. He said it would begin February 1 and increase to 25% on June 1.
But now he’s rescinded that plan, saying Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will lead discussions on Greenland.
Greenland was the main topic of the president’s speech to the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, where he ruled out using military force to take the island. --->READ MORE HERE
The president asserted if the deal is finalized it 'will be a great one for the United States of America'
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will not impose tariffs that were set to take effect Feb. 1, citing a "framework of a future deal" with NATO involving Greenland and the Arctic region.
"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," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump said the deal, if finalized, "will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations," and said the agreement led him to halt the planned tariffs.
"Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st," he said. --->WATCH and READ MORE HERE
