New details trickle out in Trump's mysterious Greenland deal
New details emerged Wednesday afternoon in President Donald Trump's mysterious Greenland deal.
The deal reportedly involves the United States having "small pockets of land" on the Arctic island, according to The New York Times. Trump said that he had reached a framework of an agreement with Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, following major pushback from European leaders and backlash in the stock market over the president's demands to seize the country — and his comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he had taken military action off the table.
The U.S. currently has its Space Force military base on the island. The details of the agreement were not immediately released.
Trump posted the following on his Truth Social platform:
"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!"
