The US president announces a preliminary deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and freezes planned tariffs against European countries involved in the Greenland deployment

Donald Trump has announced that a Greenland agreement between Trump and NATO has been outlined, prompting the suspension of tariffs that were set to take effect on February 1 against several European countries. The measures had been threatened against nations that deployed military personnel to Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory considered strategically vital by Washington.

The announcement follows another turbulent day on the international stage. Earlier, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump reiterated his administration’s strategic interest in the island. Later in the evening, the US president confirmed the shift in a post on X, citing a “very productive” meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that led to the definition of a future framework covering Greenland and, more broadly, the Arctic region.

According to Trump, the proposed deal — if finalized — would be beneficial for both the United States and all NATO members. On that basis, he confirmed that the tariffs scheduled for early February will not be imposed. In the same post, the president noted that additional discussions are ongoing regarding the so-called “Golden Dome” in connection with Greenland, adding that further details will be released as negotiations continue.

Trump also identified the officials tasked with leading the talks: Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and other senior figures, who will report directly to him. Speaking later to reporters in Davos, Trump said the agreement would be made public soon, describing it as “a great deal for everyone” and stressing its long-term nature, with no expiration date.

The announcement of the Greenland agreement between Trump and NATO drew a response from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who welcomed the decision to suspend the planned tariffs. According to Meloni, the move underscores the importance of maintaining dialogue among allied nations, a position consistently supported by Italy.

Despite the latest developments surrounding the Greenland agreement between Trump and NATO, the European Council meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening in Brussels will go ahead as planned. EU sources confirmed that the agenda remains unchanged and will focus on recent developments in transatlantic relations and their implications for the European Union.
