US president touts ‘very productive meeting’ with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte and says planned tariffs will not go into effect as a result
Following a “very productive meeting” with Nato’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, Donald Trump said that the pair have “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region”.
The president added that if the deal is accomplished he will not impose the tariffs that were set to take effect in February on several allied countries that opposed the administration’s demands to annex Greenland.
“Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Further information will be made available as discussions progress.”
He noted that vice-president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff will all be part of ongoing negotiations, and will report to Trump.
