Following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Donald Trump announced he would no longer impose tariffs on European countries that opposed the U.S. acquisition of Greenland.

Trump said he wants immediate talks to secure ownership of Greenland, citing U.S. national security concerns.

Trump stated the framework for a deal is "pretty far along" and addresses U.S. security needs, but did not specify if it included American ownership.
