Asia-Pacific markets were set to rebound Thursday, tracking gains on Wall Street after U.S. President Donald Trump walked back on his threats to impose tariffs on European countries over Greenland.
Trump also said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he would not use force to acquire the Arctic island, calming nerves over a possible U.S. military action.
The U.S. President also said he had “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland,” along with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Asian markets are already showing signs of that rebound, with Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 climbing 0.78% in early trade, having dropped about 0.4% in the previous session.
