Trump declaration of Greenland framework deal met with scepticism as doubts persist

AI Summary

long article 4 min

Donald Trump announced a "framework of a future deal" regarding Greenland after weeks of escalating tensions, including threats of tariffs and military intervention. The announcement followed talks with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum. While European leaders welcomed the apparent de-escalation, details of the agreement remain unclear. The potential deal could grant the US sovereignty over areas with military bases and allow for rare earth mineral mining without Danish permission. However, Danish MPs expressed anger at Greenland's exclusion from the negotiations, and Rutte cautioned that much work remains. The focus of the framework appears to be on ensuring Arctic security through NATO allies.
