Trump signals future Greenland deal as tariff threat fades

President Donald Trump said he would not impose tariffs on US trading partners on February 1 after meeting NATO’s Mark Rutte and forming the framework of a future deal for Greenland and the Arctic, stepping back from threats to seize Greenland by force. He ruled out a military option, announced immediate negotiations to discuss acquiring Greenland, and signaled ongoing talks over Greenland’s role in a missile-defense shield; markets rallied amid the shift, though Denmark/Greenland leadership stressed the issue is not resolved, underscoring tense transatlantic relations.
