President Donald Trump announced a dramatic breakthrough in his bid to acquire Greenland after striking a deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Trump said he will scrap tariffs scheduled for February 1st following what he described as 'very productive' talks on a framework agreement covering the entire Arctic region.
The president said 'additional discussions' are ongoing regarding Greenland and that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are 'responsible for the negotiations.'
'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,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. '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,' he continued.
'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.'
