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!”
