YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump has U-turned on plans to hit countries that oppose his takeover of Greenland with tariffs, as he announced a "framework" is in place for a deal.
In a post on social media, the president confirmed he had formed a framework for a future deal for the Danish territory during crunch talks with NATO's leadership.
Mr Trump said the proposed deal would be “a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations”.
The president had previously threatened to impose the tariffs “on any and all goods” sent to the US from February 1, increased to 25% from June 1, until a deal was agreed for the US purchase of Greenland.
In the post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said: “Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.
“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st.
“Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress.
“Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations. They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Speaking to reporters after his post, Mr Trump said: "It's a deal everybody is happy with.
"It's a long-term deal. It's the ultimate long-term deal, and I think it puts everybody in a really good position, especially as it pertains to security and minerals and anything else."
