BREAKING: Trump Announces ‘Framework’ Of Deal For Greenland With NATO

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte have “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland,” a move he said will halt a looming round of tariffs on Europe.

Trump announced the development in a Truth Social post, saying the talks prompted him to scrap punitive tariffs that were set to hit a range of European countries starting Feb. 1.

“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. 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,” Trump wrote.

“Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations — They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Markets jumped within minutes of the post.

Specifics of the proposed framework were not immediately clear.

Even without details, the announcement marked a dramatic turn in Trump’s long-running push to bring Greenland under U.S. control.

In recent weeks, the administration had openly floated buying the island or using U.S. military power to secure it, despite Greenland being a territory of Denmark, a NATO ally.

Officials in Denmark and Greenland rejected the idea outright, insisting the island is not for sale. As the standoff intensified, several European NATO countries briefly boosted their military presence in the region.

Trump fired back over the weekend, threatening new tariffs starting at 10% next month and rising to 25% by June.

Earlier Wednesday, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump argued that U.S. control of Greenland is vital to national security.

He also said he would not use military force to obtain the territory. Stocks, which slid a day earlier amid rising tensions over Greenland, rebounded sharply after Trump’s announcement.
