Trump Announces 'Framework Agreement' for Greenland

Donald Trump announced a 'framework for a future agreement' for Greenland, withdrawing the threat of imposing tariffs on European countries. The announcement comes after a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Trump stated that the talks concern broader cooperation in the Arctic, with an emphasis on security and mineral extraction. He did not reveal details of the agreement, but stressed that it would be long-term. Rutte clarified that the issue of Greenland's sovereignty was not discussed. Greenland has significant reserves of rare earth minerals, critical for technology.
