Trump says Greenland framework with NATO involves mineral rights for U.S.
A framework deal with NATO on Greenland and the Arctic halts 25% tariffs on European allies, securing U.S. mineral rights and Arctic missile defense plans, Trump said.
- On January 21, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a Greenland framework following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland, describing it as a preliminary outline.
- Aimed at Arctic security, the plan seeks to prevent Russia and China from gaining influence in Greenland and to enhance collective NATO efforts among the seven Arctic NATO allies, while expanding U.S. involvement in critical minerals.
- The White House said officials named Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff to lead negotiations, including discussions on military access and the Golden Dome system.
- Markets reacted by rebounding as European leaders expressed relief, Denmark reiterated Greenland is not for sale Wednesday, and Mary Lovely warned `the U.S. is not a reliable partner`.
- Later, Trump cancelled additional tariffs on eight European countries due Feb. 1 that had been set to start at 10% and rise to 25%, while the European Union legislative body suspended trade deal approval.
