Trump Withdraws Tariff Threat After Greenland Deal Talks

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was cancelling a planned tariff threat against several European nations that was slated for February 1, 2026. The decision followed a meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where Trump met with NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte to finalize a "framework for a future deal" on Arctic security and U.S. control of Greenland. Trump noted he does not intend to use force to acquire Greenland, while Denmark’s government reaffirmed its sovereignty over the island and urged citizens to prepare for potential crises. The move comes amid heightened tensions over Arctic geopolitics and NATO’s stance on Greenland.
