President Donald Trump on Wednesday gave an interview to CNBC’s Joe Kernen on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The conversation came hours after Trump addressed foreign leaders and business executives in Davos, and shortly after he made headlines by announcing he had “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland,” the Danish-owned island that he had insisted must belong to the United States.
Here are the five top five takeaways from Trump’s interview:
Trump told CNBC that he struck a “concept of a deal” on Greenland after meeting with North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday.
Trump, in announcing on Truth Social that a framework was now in place, also said that tariffs he announced last week on imports from European countries that opposed a U.S. takeover of Greenland would not take effect.
