Trump backs off Greenland tariffs after announcing a future deal framework with NATO

Trump announced he had reached a 'framework of a future deal' regarding Greenland and called off planned tariffs on Europe. He stated he would not use military force to acquire the territory.

Denmark and Greenland officials repeatedly stated their sovereignty was not negotiable. The situation caused significant tension with European allies, leading to emergency meetings and a reassessment of the transatlantic relationship. NATO's secretary general said the alliance agreed to the framework for a future Arctic deal.

Technical talks between the US, Denmark, and Greenland began. No written document of the framework deal exists, according to sources, and Trump said negotiations are ongoing.
