US EditionTrump says Greenland framework with NATO involves mineral rights for U.S.
Trump formed a NATO framework on Arctic security focusing on Greenland's strategic value and withdrew threatened tariffs scheduled for February 1, easing tensions with European allies.
- 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.
