Trump Says 'Framework of a Future Deal' Discussed on Greenland as He Drops Tariffs Threat

Trump linked the framework deal on Greenland and the Arctic to US security and mineral rights while dropping planned tariffs during ongoing negotiations.

  • On Jan 20, President Donald Trump said a framework for a future deal on Greenland and the Arctic has been formed, adding, "Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st."
  • Trump pursued Greenland to address US security and mineral access, citing Arctic concerns and rare earth minerals, while threatening tariffs set to start February 1st, rising to 25%.
  • After meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump described talks as productive, while diplomatic sources told CBS there was no agreement for American control of Greenland.
  • Reports said the plan could allow the US to build more military bases on Greenland while the territory already hosts more than 100 US military personnel at Pituffik base; Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and Steve Witkoff, Special Envoy, will report directly to Trump.
  • Greenlandic representatives said negotiations must include them, as NATO spokeswoman Allison Hart framed talks as preventing Russia and China gaining footholds and said the Greenland pursuit has damaged EU–US relations.
