“It’s right now a little bit in progress,” #Trump told reporters. “But pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.” Trump, however, would not say if the deal involved the #UnitedStates obtaining ownership of #Greenland.

Speaking to CNBC, #Trump said the #Greenland deal was everything the White House wanted & was a deal everyone was happy with.

"Its a little bit complex," Trump said about the deal, saying it will be explained "down the line."

"This is forever," Trump told CNBC.

No immediate comment from #NATO

Reuters has asked NATO for more details on Trump's announcement.

#Sweden’s Foreign Minister Eva Stenergard said the work of #allies on #Greenland "has had an effect." [whatever that means]

#EU leaders will proceed with an emergency summit on Thursday even after #Trump rowed back on his threats of #tariffs against some countries over #Greenland, a council spox said.

The details of any framework aside, Trump’s decision to back down from steep new #tariffs on European countries came days after financial #markets recoiled over the prospect of a #trade war. Some analysts felt that a protracted battle threatened to harm the #US #economy, not just the countries that #Trump had been trying to pressure over #Greenland.

Nevertheless, it was not the first time that #TACO has retreated from his tariff plans, particularly in the wake of a strong market reaction.

#Trump said that VP #JDVance, Secy of State #MarcoRubio, the special envoy #SteveWitkoff & other officials would continue to lead negotiations on #Greenland. But it seemed that #MarkRutte, the secretary general of #NATO, was able to successfully de-escalate tension with Trump after days of threats & insults against European leaders who resisted his territorial expansion.

#Trump claims he's reached a framework deal on #Greenland

Announcement came after he met with #NATO chief

He also said, based upon this understanding, he will not be imposing new tariffs scheduled to go into effect on February 1.

"The monumental idiocy of Trump’s threat to impose a 10% tariff on eight European nations that do not support his bid to conquer Greenland cannot go unremarked.

Foreign nations do not pay tariffs on goods imported into the US. Tariffs are paid by US companies that import goods into the US. Those companies pass their costs onto US consumers."

"Trump’s foreign policy vision is not based on shared values, mutual defense, or democratic norms. It is based on leverage, punishment, and payment."

"Donald Trump is not blowing up NATO by accident. He is not threatening tariffs on European allies because he is impulsive. And he is not floating bizarre new global bodies where nations pay billions for access because he suddenly cares about peace.

This is a strategy. A crude one, but coherent. And it is designed to replace alliances with tribute."

Trump's Latest Shakedown

The president just upped the ante

^{Julie Roginsky (Salty Politics with Julie Roginsky)}

"This post is bonkers on many levels. ...

The post also makes explicit that Trump is trying to use tariffs not to nurture the American economy but to force other countries to do his bidding."

I intend to punish, cow, and coerce you by taxing my own citizens.

"In a long screed [yesterday] morning, Trump’s social media account said the president is placing tariffs of 10% on all goods from the countries currently protecting Greenland after February 1, and that the tariffs will increase to 25% on June 1."
