Donald Trump announced a "framework of a future deal" regarding Greenland after discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The announcement follows previous tensions and threats of sanctions against US allies who opposed Trump's interest in the territory. While Trump provided no specifics, he stated the deal would benefit the US and NATO. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen affirmed Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland is non-negotiable, but expressed openness to discussing other issues like security and investment. NATO indicated negotiations between Denmark, Greenland, and the US would aim to prevent Russian or Chinese influence in Greenland. A Greenlandic lawmaker emphasized that Greenland must be involved in any negotiations.
