Switzerland Davos Trump

President Donald Trump says he has scrapped the tariffs that he threatened to impose on eight European nations to press for U.S. control over Greenland. The dramatic reversal came shortly after Trump insisted he wanted to get the island “including right, title and ownership.” He says he has agreed with NATO on a future Arctic security deal that could ease geopolitical tensions. Trump also suggested Denmark and NATO might work with the U.S. to build more military bases on Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen welcomed Trump's decision. The president argues that Greenland is crucial for U.S. national security against Russia and China in the Arctic.
