Trump Lifts Tariff Threat, Announces Greenland Deal

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that he and NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte had outlined a framework for a future deal with respect to Greenland and the broader Arctic region. Trump said the agreement would benefit the United States and all NATO members, and as a result he withdrew a 10 % tariff that was scheduled to take effect on February 1, 2026. The tariffs had previously been raised to 25 % until the U.S. could secure ownership of Greenland. Trump refused to use military force to take the island, insisting negotiations should proceed peacefully. European officials suspended a trade pact with the U.S. as a reaction to the earlier tariff threat.
