Donald Trump said he was dropping his threat to hit European countries with new tariffs after striking “the framework of a future deal” over Greenland in talks with Nato’s secretary-general Mark Rutte.
The US president said he had held a “very productive” meeting with Rutte and would hold future talks and find a solution that “if consummated” would be a “great one” for the US and Nato members.
“Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland,” he added, referring to his planned missile defence system.
