Trump nixes European tariff threats over Greenland after NATO chief talks
AI Summary
In January 2026, US President Donald Trump announced he would not impose tariffs on several European countries after reaching an agreement with NATO chief Mark Rutte regarding Greenland and the Arctic region. Trump had previously threatened tariffs on Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom due to their opposition to his plans to take control of Greenland. Trump claimed the US needed to seize the island for national security reasons, accusing Denmark of failing to adequately secure Greenland's waters. The agreement with Rutte establishes a "framework of a future deal" that Trump believes will benefit the US and NATO, though specific details remain undisclosed. Greenlandic and Danish leaders had previously rejected Trump's stance, leading to protests.
